I've meanwhile "checked out" (cloned) the Qt 5 git-repository and it's 
apparently building cleanly now on openSUSE 12.1 x86_64...

I've previously tried the same on openSUSE 11.4, but QtWebKit in Qt 5 requires 
a fairly recent version of libicu: openSUSE 11.4 comes with libicu-4.4.2 and 
QtWebKit doesn't even appear to "see" it, openSUSE 12.1 has libicu-4.6.1 which 
QtWebKit seems to be happy with :).

Another issue on openSUSE 11.4 is that libxcb is too old. It's not absolutely 
*required*, though, it would just not allow "threaded rendering". Note that 
XCB will be the default rendering engine in Qt 5.

When the build should finish cleanly, I'll try adding support for Qt 5 to 
QMC2. Really hope they didn't change too much :)!

Have fun, René
