Everything fails it seems when doing release build, can't even get
help to show...

Noticed a quirk with the build script, if I do the cleaning process
above, and build a debug version it will fail. However, if I build a
release version first, then build a debug version, that seems to
work.. Is there a patch that's applied for release but not for debug?

ATM I have hacked QT to remove that QASSERT error about threads, and
so far so good.. It's working fine now AFAICT.

Will report back if I encounter any issues.

Thanks again for the script.
