I didn't use Qt5 yet, but for Qt4, there was some special code needed to init 
static qt plugins.
The issue is described here: 
http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/plugins-howto.html#static-plugins

And this is the example they gave:

#include <QApplication>
#include <QtPlugin>

Q_IMPORT_PLUGIN(qjpeg)
Q_IMPORT_PLUGIN(qgif)
Q_IMPORT_PLUGIN(qkrcodecs)

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication app(argc, argv);
    ...
    return app.exec();
}

The qt5-doc (http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/plugins-howto.html#static-plugins) 
states, that the 
Q_IMPORT_PLUGIN() code is automatically generated by qmake. Maybe you are not 
using qmake or qmake is doing something wrong.

Hope this helps.
