Right I noticed there were Qt-related build failures on those arches.

I have actually patched upstream to use some newer/better qbs features/stop using deprecated ones in the process of getting it working on linux. That's probably not helpful on these arches. But this is such a niche package I'm not sure there is much point doing any more work than versioning the dependency correctly. I guess they'll catch up eventually.
