As it turns out, no, I can't use Qt5. In fact, I'd love to hear from anyone who actually has.
My "ldd -r" results for cmake-gui show my recent bootstrap builds (of cmake-3.7.0) have been built with Qt5 without linking issues. I didn't do anything special for Qt5 other than to install its development packages (for Debian Jessie in my case). So I think if you did the same, it would just work. That said, ~6 months or so ago, I didn't have Qt5 installed on my system so my cmake-gui builds back then were done (without issues) using Qt4. Also, I have used the combination of cmake and Qt5 in other contexts. The issue that is likely confusing you (since it confused me at first encounter as well) is Qt5 cmake support is provided directly by Qt5 (see <http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/cmake-manual.html> which is provided by Qt5 developers and not cmake developers). So, for example, the PLplot build system uses either Qt4 (based on CMake support provided by CMake) or Qt5 (based on CMake support provided by Qt5) and my recent (6 months ago and now) experience with CMake builds is they also work fine for either Qt4 or Qt5. So like others here have commented, I suspect you have some Qt4 installation issue (e.g., a mixture of private and system versions) that is causing your present difficulties.
