What commands did you issue? Only "make" or "make install"?

and This end up in termination after reporting some errors.
command i tried to extarct was
"tar -zxvf qt-x11-opensource-src-4.1.2.tar.gz" .This gives me 99.3 MB of extracted code.

After this i tried for configure which wet well but during 'make' same ownership issue happens and process terminates

command i tried to extarct was
"tar -zxvf qt-x11-opensource-src-4.1.2.tar.gz" .

It extracts all files without any problems on my system. Check the MD5 hash of that archive with md5sum. It should be:

18bca010d09b98e94210710047baca0a

If it's different, download that file again. If it's correct, then check if you can extract files to the same directory from some other tarball --- there might be something wrong with your system.

This gives me 99.3 MB of extracted code.

It should be about 124 MB.

Earlier i tried to extract and install Qt on a mounted FAT file system. During extraction it was showing all those errors i posted in earlier post. Now i extracted & did same process on ext3 home partition all extraction went smoothly.
Are there any issue on extracting *tar.gz file on mounted-fat file system?

FAT it doesn't support hard and soft links (not mentioning the case-sensitive names) --- don't use it.
