Yes, this seems to be a problem with the new Qt 4.8.1.
See also https://github.com/mxe/mxe/issues/18 and
https://github.com/mxe/mxe/pull/19 for a proposed workaround.

Basically, it should be sufficient to `cd
usr/i686-pc-mingw32/lib/pkgconfig/` and run
sed -E -i -e 's/^Libs:(.+)4(.*)/Libs:\1\2/' Qt*.pc qtmain.pc
