What is in the generated specs file?  Where does the "-w -- JOBS=1" come
from?

jwe


-------------

JOBS=1 comes from ./mk-spec

According to gnu make manual, -w is automatically added when -C is used. 

Running a normal make , rather than ./mk-dist also adds the -w option but it
doesn't seem to cause issues with qt and cause it to add  the '--'.
