I hate to say this ... but I think your Ubuntu install must be in a
mess! It's really not that difficult at all from a clean Ubuntu 16.10
install, just a couple of steps after cloning the repo.

(as described in https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/blob/master/INSTALL#L187)

Will get you ALL the dependencies you need - there's no need for
downloading the libraries from Qt, and you can safely use Ubuntu's
default Qt 5.6.1 library.

Possibly you can revive your build by running the above command, then
building in a new folder, but I suspect there's a lot of
odd/incompatible library versions floating around on your system by
now. I'd start by install a nice clean 16.10 install in a virtual
machine and only running the above command to get the dependencies. If
this is successful (it will be!) you could then try to work out what's
required to repair your install.

Hope that helps!
