Thomas Petazzoni e86b74333e qt: add patch to fix build on non-x86 platforms
This commit adds a patch to Qt that adjusts its build system to
properly support building on non-x86 platforms. The problem was due to
the PLATFORM and XPLATFORM variables having the same value when
building on a ppc64le system targetting an uncommon architecture
(Xtensa or ARC for example). We fix this problem by making sure
PLATFORM and XPLATFORM will always be different.

Fixes the following build failures occuring on gcc112 (a ppc64le
autobuilder machine):

Subject: [PATCH] configure: fix build on non-x86 platforms
When building for an uncommon platform on a ppc64le machine, Qt build
fails because it builds qmake with the target compiler instead of
using the host compiler. This is due to the fact that Qt configure
script believes that both the host and target platforms are "powerpc",
even though the target really is Xtensa or ARC for example.
Qt's configure script defines a variable called PLATFORM that points to
the mkspecs describing the host machine. For x86, its value is
qws/linux-x86-g++ and for x86-64, its value is
qws/linux-x86_64-g++. For any other host architecture, its value is
qws/linux-generic-g++.
In parallel to this, Qt's configure script defines a variable called
XPLATFORM that points to the mkspecs describing the target machine. It
points to qws/linux-${CFG_EMBEDDED}-g++, where CFG_EMBEDDED is
simply "generic" for most uncommon architectures.
Therefore, when we're building for an uncommon architecture, on a
ppc64le machine, we have:
PLATFORM = qws/linux-generic-g++
XPLATFORM = qws/linux-generic-g++
i.e, both values are equal. Due to this, the following condition is
false:
if [ "$PLATFORM" != "$XPLATFORM" -a "$CFG_EMBEDDED" != "no" ]; then
which causes Qt's configure script to fallback to:
elif [ "$PLATFORM_MAC" = "yes" ] || [ -z "$CFG_ARCH" ]; then
CFG_ARCH=$CFG_HOST_ARCH
fi
because CFG_ARCH is not defined, and therefore gets defined to
CFG_HOST_ARCH. So we have CFG_ARCH == CFG_HOST_ARCH, and Qt believes
we're doing a native build.
Therefore, we need to ensure that PLATFORM and XPLATFORM always have a
different value. To achieve this, we create a
qws/linux-host-generic-g++ mkspecs, which is always used as
PLATFORM. It is identical to qws/linux-x86-g++. Compared to
qws/linux-x86_64-g++, the only difference is that we're not passing
the -m64 flag, but that isn't needed when building host tools.
