Hi Gareth,

Thanks for pointing this out. I see in the log that the library is built at

tmp-qt/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.0/src/3rdparty/webkit/Source/JavaScriptCore/release/libjscore.a

but, you're right, it doesn't get installed. I'll investigate. In the 
meantime, you can always add an explicit $(INSTALL) command to qt.mk as 
a workaround. This should work:

$(INSTALL) -m644 
$(1)/src/3rdparty/webkit/Source/JavaScriptCore/release/libjscore.a 
$(PREFIX)/$(TARGET)/lib/
