You don't necessarily have to "make gcc" first.

The native "ld" is being used here for some reason, which is at least 
part of the problem. In other words, I would have expected to see:

/home/realnc/opt/mingw/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-mingw32/4.4.0/../../../../i686-pc-mingw32/bin/ld

What kind of system are you building on?  Do you see any clues in log/qt?
