Most of these issues are happening on pure systems as well (all of the ones
that I discovered in a previous posting were). I might end up upgrading one
system from 5 to 6 and seeing if issues arise there also.

Qtwebengine will be interesting. I don't have LXQt in systemd, so I don't
have Qupzilla. I was considering adding it though.

I wonder if we just have to force it to use C99/C++98 like we have to for
other packages. When I build Qt5 tomorrow (I hope), I will try that and
report back.
