Why not just use "mkoctfile -c" as the compiler?  You might also be
able to use mkoctfile --link-stand-alone to perform the final linking
step.

Two reasons:

1) Originally, I was using qmake. Qmake adds compile and link options to the command line which did not work if I hand-edited the Makefile to use mkoctfile for its C++ compiler.
2) I don't know how to pass certain options down to g++ at compile time. For instance, -fexceptions.

mkoctfile is good for small projects, but serious projects will sooner or later want to get around it.
