This makes perfect sense. Thank you.

-    (cd ${SDK_OUTPUT}/${QT_TOOLS_PREFIX}/..; ln -s 
${SDKTARGETSYSROOT}/usr/share/qtopia/mkspecs mkspecs;)
+    (cd ${SDK_NATIVE_OUTPUT}/${QT_TOOLS_PREFIX}/..; ln -s 
${SDKTARGETSYSROOT}/usr/share/qtopia/mkspecs mkspecs;)

I've applied patch but as Eric pointed out earlier, SDK_NATIVE_OUTPUT 
(from the snip above) is not defined anywhere (I've searched the string 
throughout whole oe-core).

Anyways, this snip of code deals with mkspecs, and I am not sure if 
mkspecs should be installed in "i686-arm". My gut feeling would expect 
mkspecs to be in "i686-i686" along with the other QT tools which are 
already in "i686-i686" part.
