Some Qt5 sub-projects as well as 3rd-party apps written on Qt
are failing to compile with gcc 6.x like that:
---------------------------->8-------------------------

^
compilation terminated.
---------------------------->8-------------------------
That happens because qmake trying to play smart passes some
include paths in Makefile with "-isystem" prefix.
Which in some cases lead to build failure well described in [1].
A little bit more details below on what really happens:
1. In "configure" script Qt determines default include paths of the
toolchain and stores them in DEFAULT_INCDIRS variable, see [2].
2. On qmake execution when it creates Makefile out of .pro-file
it parses headers in INCLUDEPATH variable and if a path matches
one in DEFAULT_INCDIRS then in CXXFLAGS that path is written
with $QMAKE_CFLAGS_ISYSTEM prefix, otherwise non-matching include
path ends up in CXXFLAGS with normal "-I" prefix.
3. By default for gcc "QMAKE_CFLAGS_ISYSTEM = -isystem", see [3].
4. gcc fails to find stdlib.h, again refer to Jörg's explanation in [1].
What we do here we force set QMAKE_CFLAGS_ISYSTEM to "" and so qmake
won't use "-isystem" any longer instead expected "-I" will be used for
all headers, see [4].
That fixes building of Qt5Webkit on ARM with gcc 6.x and a number of
autobuilder failures for ARC (the an arch that uses gcc 6 by default) like:
