I could add some workarounds for OS X builds that skip QAccessibleBridgePlugin 
and QMenu::macMenu. That doesn't seem like an ideal solution though.

Can you do the OS X equivalent of 

$ objdump -Tt /usr/lib/libQtGui.so | c++filt | grep QAccessibleBridgePlugin ?

If this doesn't print anything, then OS X Qt builds simply don't include this 
class, for whatever reason.
