I have followed https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/readme-qt.rst - in order to build QT in windows (with 0.5.0) and I get the following error: http://i.imgur.com/q3GGa.png

Why are you building x64?
There's no reason to, 32-bit runs fine on 64-bit machines and nothing is gained using 64-bit, except less compatibility, a larger executable, and, most likely, slightly lower performance.

Sorry, I should rephrase that. I am not trying to build a 64-bit client. I am just using windows 7 x64 (which I thought is the reason I am getting the above error.)

When building a 64-bit executable, you should also make sure that all the dependencies are 64 bit. The deps from https://download.visucore.com/bitcoin/qtgui_deps_1.zip are 32-bit so that will fail.
It might be the case that Qt SDK tries to build a 64-bit executable by default on a 64-bit OS? If so maybe there is a flag to force it to build a 32-bit one (-m32 for gcc?) I'm not sure, I can only try on 32 bit right now.

Have you tried building the latest version (0.7.0 or 0.7.1rc1) lately? Is this bug still here?

Building on Windows 7 x64 works with 0.9.0. This seems to be resolved.
