I think there's a misunderstanding here: This is about using an rpath when 
building qbs itself, which can be turned off setting a qmake CONFIG variable. 
What I'm trying understand is why that is not considered simpler than creating 
and applying a diff.

Well, the upstream patch touches the line right above, so I'd think there's a 
good chance that the diff won't apply anymore.
