I went ahead today and created a libQt5Core that had the patched paths.  There 
were 14 paths to tweak, and it took just a few minutes to patch the paths.

Now, I am using this patched libQt5Core on my embedded target, and I no longer 
need a qt.conf for each of the dozens of Qt example apps and other apps of mine 
I want to run on the target hardware.  Yaaay!

I still have my pristine Qt 5 SDK on Ubuntu (which is installed into its prefix 
dir) which allows me to cross-compile my Qt 5 apps for arm on Ubuntu, via 
qmake/make, then manually deploying the app on the embedded target.

I also have Qt 5.0.0 for Ubuntu, installed from the binaries, for development 
and testing in Qt Creator 2.6.1 on Ubuntu.

I don't think it would hurt to document the "how to do it properly" process, if 
time permits.   Thanks to all involved for the discussion and tips.   This is 
an improved workflow for cross-compiling and running Qt 5 apps on an embedded 
target.
