This must be a cross-platform bug in their hand-written ./configure
script. We need further research on that.

Maybe it's really the name of C compiler in Solaris? I don't know,
but Qt's "mkspecs/solaris-cc/qmake.conf" really contains lines like:

    QMAKE_CXX               = CC
    ...
    QMAKE_LINK              = CC
    ...

However, that still doesn't explain why these settings are used for
cross compiling.

This is really strange. I can't find any "cp -a" command, neither in
the Qt build system nor in mingw-cross-env. Where exactly is it called?
Are you sure you tested against the current, unmodified version of
mingw-cross-env?
