 No I haven't, but they're easy enough to reproduce.

 For classpath:

checking for QtCore QtGui >= 4.1.0... yes
checking QT_CFLAGS... -I/home/arnout/src/buildroot/output-ext-toolchain-x86_64/host/usr/x86_64-buildroot-linux-gnu/sysroot/usr/include/QtGui -DQT_SHARED -I/home/arnout/src/buildroot/output-ext-toolchain-x86_64/host/usr/x86_64-buildroot-linux-gnu/sysroot/usr/include -I/home/arnout/src/buildroot/output-ext-toolchain-x86_64/host/usr/x86_64-buildroot-linux-gnu/sysroot/usr/include/QtCore  
checking QT_LIBS... -lQtGui -L/home/arnout/src/buildroot/output-ext-toolchain-x86_64/host/usr/x86_64-buildroot-linux-gnu/sysroot/usr/lib -lQtCore  
checking for /home/arnout/src/buildroot/output-ext-toolchain-x86_64/host/usr/x86_64-buildroot-linux-gnu/sysroot/usr/include/QtGui/QWidget... configure: error: cannot check for file existence when cross compiling


 I'll try to re-run current HEAD (which has fixed quite a few packages
already) with make -k and put it on a pastebin.

 You already fixed it :-)

 Yep. Although the Linaro toolchain is probably a more appropriate choice.
