I have just discovered that some of my install logs do not contain any 
symlinks

Doing staged installs.

The install log shows
/opt/qt5/lib/libQt5X11Extras.la
/opt/qt5/lib/libQt5X11Extras.prl
/opt/qt5/lib/libQt5X11Extras.so.5.12.1

but the compile log shows
/opt/qt5/bin/qmake -install qinstall -exe 
../../lib/libQt5X11Extras.so.5.12.1 
/opt/qt5/lib/libQt5X11Extras.so.5.12.1
strip --strip-unneeded /opt/qt5/lib/libQt5X11Extras.so.5.12.1
ln -f -s libQt5X11Extras.so.5.12.1 /opt/qt5/lib/libQt5X11Extras.so
ln -f -s libQt5X11Extras.so.5.12.1 /opt/qt5/lib/libQt5X11Extras.so.5
ln -f -s libQt5X11Extras.so.5.12.1 /opt/qt5/lib/libQt5X11Extras.so.5.12


# ls -l /opt/qt5/lib/libQt5X11Extras.*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   699 Jan 11 11:46

/opt/qt5/lib/libQt5X11Extras.so -> libQt5X11Extras.so.5.12.1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    25 Jan 11 11:46 
/opt/qt5/lib/libQt5X11Extras.so.5 -> libQt5X11Extras.so.5.12.1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    25 Jan 11 11:46 
/opt/qt5/lib/libQt5X11Extras.so.5.12 -> libQt5X11Extras.so.5.12.1
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 22720 Jan 11 11:46 
/opt/qt5/lib/libQt5X11Extras.so.5.12.1

This then leaves dangling symlinks when I remove a spell and may then 
cause problems in subsequent builds.

The compile log for installwatch shows warnings:

installwatch.c:3108:43: warning: passing argument 4 of ‘true_scandir’ 
from incompatible pointer type [-Wincompatible-pointer-types]
   result=true_scandir(dir,namelist,select,compar);
                                           ^~~~~~

I don't know when this started happening.

Any solutions?
