configure.exe hangs when -openssl-linked is added to the command line with Qt 4.6.0 beta1

This bug is against the Qt 4.6.0 beta1 download on the Qt site. http://get.qt.nokia.com/qt/source/qt-win-opensource-4.6.0-beta1-mingw.exe

Adding -openssl-linked to the end of a configure.exe line causes configure to hang after the user accepts the license. I have reproduced this on 3 different XP virtual machines. Removing the -openssl-linked argument will allow configure to complete, however the resulting Qt lib binaries will not be able to open SSL sockets.

This behaviour does not happen with Qt 4.5.3, this regression makes it effectively impossible to build static linked SSL enabled binaries on Windows with Qt 4.6.0.
