Ok, so I've uploaded a 2.3.1-6 release of glew, which now ships an X11 
build of libGLEW as libGLEW-X11.a

I have done a test build of openscad with this; the build works with the 
following patch:

--- a/features/glew.prf
+++ b/features/glew.prf
@@ -7,7 +7,7 @@
    QMAKE_LIBDIR += $$GLEW_DIR/lib64
  }

-unix:LIBS += -lGLEW
+unix:LIBS += -lGLEW-X11
  mingw-cross-env*: {
     {
      CONFIG += link_pkgconfig


Regards

Alastair
