Thanks for the detailed notes and log. Unfortunately, I can’t see anything 
obvious 
causing the error. It doesn’t seem to be picking up any native headers or libs.

If you want to debug this package, try invoking the make command manually…

Hmmm, I just noticed that it is switching between `gmake` and `make` at line 
1053. How
did you invoke the build? It may be that qt has it’s own detection - this is 
usually
only an issue with BSD vs GNU make. If qt insists on using gmake, invoke mxe 
the same.

Otherwise, I’d suggest building only the subset of mxe that you intend to use, 
start
with `qt5` and add packages from there (or just the qt5 submodules you need).

Cheers,

Tony
