Check the qtbase configure help:
"""
  -make <part> ......... Add <part> to the list of parts to be built.
                         Specifying this option clears the default list first.
                         [libs and examples, also tools if not cross-building,
                         also tests if -developer-build]
"""

and add:
    qtbase_CONFIGURE_OPTS='-make libs -make tools'

to your mxe make invocation.

Cheers,
