mingw32-make bug. Explanation:

silent.prf does this:
    QMAKE_CC = @echo compiling $< && $$QMAKE_CC
    QMAKE_CXX = @echo compiling $< && $$QMAKE_CXX

That turns the regular command-line invoking gcc/g++ into a shell command-
line. GNU make on Linux always calls out to sh to run each line, but 
apparently on Windows they decided to skip that and CreateProcess directly to 
the target executable if they can.

Also note that mingw32-make changes behaviour depending on whether sh.exe can 
be found on $PATH (if it's there, it uses sh.exe; if not, it uses cmd.exe). 
Because of that, qmake also changes behaviour. You must run mingw32-make from 
the same environment as you ran qmake on, otherwise the Makefiles won't be 
compatible.

That's surprising. I've never seen that. The Makefile.Debug I have on Windows 
doesn't have those extra newlines.

Can you add "-d -d" to the qmake command-line and send me the stderr of that 
run?
