Проблема разрешилась - возникла другая, но и ее тоже я решил.
Сборка делается следующим образом:
DOS
-L "path/to/dir/with/Gdi32library/" and -lGdi32.lib
либо ручным редактированием qmake.conf
Лично я добавил сразу две библеотеки : Gdi32.lib и User32.lib. Поидеи все это можно было не делать если собирать QT из OpenSSL
отсюда. У меня получалась стабильная сборка, возможно там уже отрегулированы зависимости.
Затем на этапе сборки проекта появляются 10+ unresolved external symbol

Решается РУЧНЫМ подключением библиотек libeay32.lib и ssleay32.lib через линковщик с указанием пути до них.
Спасибо за внимание. Надеюсь тому кто нагуглит это - поможет сие.
