I downloaded Trolltech's qt-3.0.5 tar file and it had the same error, 
trying to strip the html directory. So I think it is Trolltech's bug.

For QT3 I use 'configure <other options> -prefix /usr/local/qt' and 'make 
QTDIR=/path/to/builddir symlinks sub-src sub-tools qt.install'. It works 
without building the tutorials and copies all needed files to 
/usr/local/qt.
