Quick fix by:

diff --git a/package/qt5/qt5base/qmake.conf.in b/package/qt5/qt5base/qmake.conf.in
index f14527aa7f..150f84e45d 100644

 include(../common/linux_device_pre.conf)
 
 # modifications to g++-unix.conf
+QMAKE_COMPILER          = gcc
 QMAKE_CC                = $${CROSS_COMPILE}gcc
 QMAKE_CXX               = $${CROSS_COMPILE}g++


But QMAKE_COMPILER should already be set in mkspecs/common/g++-base.conf, but
is changed by buildroot package/qt5/qt5base/qt5base.mk from 'gcc' to
'/usr/bin/gcc' by

  # This allows to use ccache when available
  define QT5BASE_CONFIGURE_HOSTCC
          $(SED) 's,^QMAKE_COMPILER\s*=.*,QMAKE_COMPILER = $(HOSTCC),' $(@D)/mkspecs/common/g++-base.conf
          $(SED) 's,^QMAKE_CC\s*=.*,QMAKE_CC = $(HOSTCC),' $(@D)/mkspecs/common/g++-base.conf
          $(SED) 's,^QMAKE_CXX\s*=.*,QMAKE_CXX = $(HOSTCXX),' $(@D)/mkspecs/common/g++-base.conf
  endef

The rigth fix should be removing the first sed line, QMAKE_COMPILER is the
compiler flavour and not a compiler path (see e.g. [1])...

Will send a proper patch (after some testing) soon...

Regards,
Peter
