There is -m32, so it's trying to build a 32 bit binary on your x86_64
machine...

... but you don't have the 32 bit development headers installed.

Questions are:

 * Is it normal that qtwebengine builds this for the host machine. It
   could be normal, if it's a program later used to generate data/code ?

 * If it's normal that it's built for the host, why do they force
   building for 32 bits by passing -m32 ?
