This is not supported in the current Buildroot, which does not build
qmake for the target. Buildroot is designed for cross-compilation, i.e
the situation where your target is rather slow compared to your
development PC, and therefore cases for which native compilation is not
possible or really too painful. We have some support to have a native
toolchain on the target (so you can build standard C or C++ programs on
the target), but we don't support that for Qt.

If you want, you can work on extending the Qt .mk file to also generate
a qmake for the target, but I think it's going to be very complicated
for a benefit that isn't really obvious to me.

Thomas
