I cannot explain your observations, but the -Wl is missing from the 
earliest version in git. The git repo was started in March 2009, well 
after Qt 4.2.

Just discovered it has been fixed. I have added the fix to "our" qmake.conf:

http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/mingw-cross-env/rev/6b1b2ef0b103

The missing -Wl was still hanging onto the end of the "-mthreads" that 
had been moved!

Could you give this a try?
