I'm not sure when this regression occured. After a quick rummaging of my store, it seems the practice of installing "mkspecs" files is rather unorthodox (I found only 'qca', and it does not use qmake at all and thus avoids this problem), so I committed an unsatisfactory workaround in 627b70e3ac8aade9744a998c28570fbb52b986a7. It would be good to find the source of the regression and fix 'qmake', but let's get back to that if it becomes a widespread issue. Thanks for the report! (By the way, there are some [disabled] test failures in qoauth. If you intend to use this library for something important, I recommend trying to get the tests working.) :-)
