I have tried to use the pre-built Qt binaries for MSVS 2008 with MSVS 2010. (There are no pre-built binaries for MSVS 2010.)

This works fine for release builds, but with debug builds my Qt app fails to start with the error messages

The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0150002).
Click on OK to terminate the application.

and

LDR: LdrpWalkImportDescriptor() failed to probe
C:\Libraries\Qt\4.7.4\bin\QtCored4.dll for its manifest,
ntstatus 0xc0150002

Is there a work-around for this, or do I have to build my own MSVS 2010 binaries from the Qt source?

There’s no workaround, Visual Studio is not bent on binary compatibility (on the contrary).

If you don’t want to build Qt yourself, you can always use the 4.8 beta binaries from here, they offer VS2010 builds.
