if anyone built qt5 stuff prior to Jan 21, they probably disabled staging.
Thsi was a relic of ancient development builds. Current builds enable staging.

Unfortunately installwatch seems to be broken when installing to /opt and does not track the symlinks, used mainly by dynamica libaries.
This means that although all the qt5 spells conflict with themselves, it is likely that the are some broken symlinks left behind.
These causes a problem for some parts of qt when enabling the gold linker, as it finds the old, broken, symlink instead of the newly built library.

I suggest that you check any install logs for missing symlinks and delete them when updating qt5.

Regards, Treeve
