Hmmm.  There's no

  /sw/lib/qt5-mac/lib/QtCore.framework/Headers/QtCore

directory?  From your original error, the included file is

#include <QtCore/qvariant.h>
         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

But what's interesting is that the GUI source code doesn't have many 
<QtCore/XYZ.h> files... except the

libgui/qterminal/libqterminal/unix/

directory, which I think Mac OS X doesn't use.

So perhaps this directory structure is only something important for 
configure???

Anyway, that <QtCore/qvariant.h> is originating from the Qt header files 
themselves.  No changing that.  So something about your environment is 
not setting up the proper path or links or something.  You have:

/sw/lib/qt5-mac/lib/QtCore.framework/Headers/qvariant.h

but qvariant.h has to be located in some directory

/.../QtCore/qvariant.h
