Description:
In QT 4.5.0-1 there are many unnecessary files under /usr/share/qt/mkspecs for many architectures.
Maybe the only dirs that are needed for Arch Linux are:

common/{g++,linux,unix}.conf
default -> linux-g++
features/
linux-g++/
linux-g++-32/
linux-g++-64/
qconfig.pri

What would be the benefit? Sure, there was some code to remove some of those spec files, but not all of them. In the end its < than 1MB and I don't see any issue caused by those. Maybe it would be better to report it upstream then.

This is like with the current qt-4.4.3-5.
The Arch Linux KISS philosophy?
The idea of upstream is to support many architectures as possible, Arch Linux, don't support cross-compiling or multilib system by default.
