Trying to build knotifications framework, kdesrc-build and qt5

[Colin Williams]

After nuking the build as mentioned, my issues with the Qt5 submodules
have gone away. I'm still failing to build Qt5 via the script.

I get the error: ERROR: Feature 'reduce_relocations' was enabled, but
the pre-condition '!config.win32 && tests.reduce_relocations' failed.

I don't have a clue regarding 'reduce_relocations'. Is there a way to
disable it and would it make sense to do so?

I'm attaching

/usr/local/kde/src/log/2021-08-03-02/Qt5/error.log : http://ix.io/3uSt
./build/Qt5/config.log : http://ix.io/3uSv
