excuse me :)
qtchooser, and thus the QT_SELECT switch, is probably a debian exclusive
thing, meaning that it's specific to some debian packaging policy,
organization and whatever--it is NOT a Qt thing and might not apply to
other distros or environments so easily, mainly because there's no
qtchooser package installed nor even available.
might be mistaken however ;)

Definitely seems to be part of Qt.
https://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qtchooser/source/ae5eeef85c9a818bfa6a3e03511e39…:
http://qt-project.org/search?search=qtchooser
so i was mistaken when sadd qtchooser is not a qt thing. my bad ;)
but the rest of the excuse still applies:
the onus of the desired/current QT_SELECT setting should be left to the
user and not hard-coded on a configure script, at least for the time being.

OK, this now works for me.
Although I can see your argument, it's not much help when the user is quite
unaware of what the issue is. Before compiling unknown software I *always*
checkout the README file (if it exists), and there is no mention there of
possible contention between qt 4 & 5.
Why not simply add something like this at the top:
WARNING
Qtractor is intended to be compiled with qt version 4
Before running config you may need to enter:
export QT_SELECT=4
