Qt static build fails on Linux

I was trying to build static Qt on Linux (VirtualBox guest) according to the instruction from http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/linux-deployment.html. For this purpose I have download the actual version of Qt (http://download.qt.io/official_releases/qt/5.5/5.5.1/single/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.5.1.tar.gz).
However, make fails with the following error (the whole log is also attached as a txt):

/home/str1/share/Linux/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.5.1/qtdeclarative/lib/libQt5Qml.a(qqmldebugserver.o):qqmldebugserver.cpp:function QQmlDebugServerThread::run(): error: undefined reference to 'QTcpServerConnection::QTcpServerConnection()'
