I just did the same thing this morning :)
the problem is that libqt is linked to libGLU
the quick work around is to remove libGLU when creating libqt
if you have the qt source tree, you do

cd $QTDIR/src
edit Makefile  and remove -lGLU 
rm $QTDIR/lib/*
make 

if you don't have the qt tree then apt-get source is your friend

after that everything works except the screensaver(or any apps depending on 
GLU)  which need GL
