J-Y, you say there is a bug in QT.  I've searched their bug database 
but I can't find anything specific to the problem I'm having.  I'm 
using QT 4.7.4, if that makes a difference.  In 
osx-packager-qtsdk.pl, I see you've referenced a number of bugs. 
AFAIK, none of them seems specific to this issue.

I really don't understand where I'm going off the rails.  I've 
carefully compared the processes used by OS X buildbot AND at 
osx-packager.pl.  osx-packager.pl puts more stuff in environment 
variables while the buildbot passes more on the command line to 
mythtv/configure.  I can reconcile the LDFLAGS v. --extra-libs and 
--extra-ldflags.  But I don't see where the blank -L is being 
generated.  The build log output generated is quite detailed; could 
some kind soul have a look and point me in the right direction?
