Already explained by Sune over IRC to Timo, but writing it here for the sake 
of completitude.

This comes from QPlatformSupport stuff which creates a static library that 
needs this linking.

It also happens that QPlatformSupport is private stuff, so there is really no 
way to solve this but either stop using private stuff or helping upstream to 
make QPlatformSupport public (which would be really helpful). This will in 
turn mean that it will become a dynamic lib and this bug can be fixed.

By the way there was part of the QPlatformSupport stuff in qtbase5-dev, I have 
just pushed it to qtbase5-private-dev.

Kinds regards, Lisandro.
