I tried building Qt 5.1.1 from master again, the .la-files do look 
better, "libdir" looks correct (taken from libQt5Svg.la):

<snip>
# Directory that this library needs to be installed in:
libdir='/usr/lib'
</snip>

however

<snip>
dependency_libs='-lQt5Gui 
-L/home/jkroon/Projects/oe-devel/build/tmp-eglibc/sysroots/wandboard-solo/usr/lib 
-lQt5Core -lpthread '
</snip>

Dunno wether this is a problem or not, I never tried building the 
project with 5.1.1 using the SDK.

Will hopefully have some time tomorrow to look at the links you sent.

Thanks,

Jacob
