We don't have a specific qmake infrastructure, so for now the packages that rely on the qmake build system use the 'generic-package' Buildroot package infrastructure. It is therefore up to them to support out-of-tree build. If qmake packages become more widespread, it might be useful to add a specific infrastructure for them. For now, I feel their number is a bit limited to do so.
