Methinks I've found a bug or 2 (whether it is PyQt4 or qt4 dunno):

1.  QT_INSTALL_DATA, mkspecs location.
qt4 has been configured so that
qmake -query QT_INSTALL_DATA
returns
/usr/share/qt4
So, mkspecs lives in
/usr/share/qt4/mkspecs

But on after running configure.py, PyQt4's Makefiles contain references to
non-existant -I/usr/lib64/qt4/mkspecs/linux-g++-64

2.  
/usr/share/qt4/mkspecs/common/linux.conf contains:
QMAKE_LIBDIR_X11      = /usr/X11R6/lib
but,
/usr/share/qt4/mkspecs/linux-g++-64/qmake.conf contains:
include(../common/linux.conf)
...
QMAKE_LIBDIR_X11      = /usr/X11R6/lib64
Isn't the latter LIBDIR_X11 definition supposed to override the value in
common/linux.conf?

Now, if I manually change /usr/share/qt4/mkspecs/common/linux.conf to
contain instead:
QMAKE_LIBDIR_X11      = /usr/X11R6/lib64
then PyQt-4.1 uses *that* proper value.  ???
