I've attempted a fix in git.  I copied the conf.pri generation code from qconf 
itself into recursiveprl.qcm so that it can create the file early.  The 
configure script still redundantly writes conf.pri again at the end of all 
processing, even though it will already exist with the same content.  
Definitely a hack, but it should work.

I don't know yet what the "right" fix is.  The simplest answer would be to 
have a special flag in qconf that tells it to run qmake -prl after conf.pri 
is generated but before qmake (without -prl) is run.  That would at least 
give the configure script the right behavior without any hacks, but I dislike 
the idea of having such a "special" flag.  Maybe a better answer would be to 
make qconf post-processing generally customizable.
