As MarcT mentioned, #6701 is needed to move beyond Qt 4.5.1.  Apparently something changed in win32 qmake that removes the implicit '-I.' that currently is being relied on.

> 2. Move to GCC 4.4.1-tdm-2

I have not tried GCC 4.4.1 yet; does it resolve the __attribute((cold)) issue?  ffmpeg's use of the attribute caused GCC 4.3+ to build improper DLLs, resulting in segfaults at initialization.  GCC bugzilla still shows the issue as open: http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=40905

> 3. AFAICT the make_clean script is doing way to much

Yes, make_clean.sh probably could be trimmed even further, although there's no harm in being overly cautious.  I've already consolidated the five separate find operations into one to greatly speed up the process, but I'll be uploading a revised patch shortly to remove a few more of the rm commands.
