I am trying to do a developer build of Qt, with configure -developer-build -static. The result is that everything compiles all right but the linker /usr/bin/ld is unable to link. It runs forever, with the HD LED incessantly on and no visible progress. It does no damage and it can safely be stopped, killed and debugged, but it never finishes.
The build process stalls on the following command:
gmake[4]: Wejście do katalogu `/home/krzysztof/proj/qt/tools/assistant/tools/assistant'

When I tried just configure -developer-build, it was unable to link webkit.
