I think that should technically be possible, but I have doubts about it.

Not all tools are "bootstrap" tools anymore, which means for uic you need to 
build QtCore (same for qmake actually).

I think qtdeclarative has tools that depend on QtQml.

So you'll have to have this weird hybrid of a Qt installation that needs to be 
maintained to work.
