Check value of PACKAGECONFIG:
bitbake -e qtbase | grep '^PACKAGECONFIG='

Check value of EXTRA_OECONF:
bitbake -e qtbase | grep '^EXTRA_OECONF='

You can redirect output of bitbake -e qtbase to a file and examine it to 
see how the variables have been set:
bitbake -e qtbase > qtbase_vars.txt
xdg-open qtbase_vars.txt
