Hello Julien,

Thanks for looking into this!

My guess is that since were passing -sysroot $(STAGING_DIR) to qt5's
configure script, this sysroot pass get prefixed everywhere.

That's not a big deal, we're doing this for autotools packages already,
and it should be the normal thing to do.

Ideally, the installation for staging should be:

	$(MAKE) -C $(@D) INSTALL_ROOT=$(STAGING_DIR) install

and for the target:

	$(MAKE) -C $(@D) INSTALL_ROOT=$(TARGET_DIR) install

Well, we need to understand why Qt behaves this way, and fix it
properly.

We could have a generic "fixup" macro, which we register in all qt5
packages as a post-configure hook or something like that.

I think I might an idea for this one: we're passing
-headerdir /usr/include/qt5 to qt5's configure script, so the sysroot
path doesn't get prepended for header files installation.

Argh, no, not possible: this would mean that the other Qt5 packages
would install their headers in /usr/include, which is not the case.
