/usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so, provided by libxext-dev.
This is pretty common ld behaviour: when you -l<blah>, ld needs
libblah.so (with no numbered suffix), which will be provided by some
-dev package, often libblah-dev (or perhaps libblahN-dev).
There are libqt4* packages in the archive, so perhaps you don't need to
compile your own anyway?
