This is indeed "strange" but configure.py is really passing -gui
unconditionally for QtCore (as well as QtDbus, QtNetwork ...).
I didn't try to get in touch with upstream yet however I would assume
that pyqt really expects that GUI is enabled on Qt.
Here is an extract of their whitepaper
(https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/static/Docs/PyQt4-whitepaper/pyqt-whitepaper-a4.pdf):
PyQt, provides an ideal combination for rapidly creating powerful and
flexible GUI applications.
