Your wasting time by not building with poudriere or synth :).
Qt5 is meant to be used as a blob. There is very limited support for
version matching.

All in all the Qt ports have become more robust and in that normally they
do not use the files installed for building (as we have "hidden" them in a
prefix). So upgrades tend to work if you don't just go for the last in the
chain blindly.
Hovewer... You need to make sure qmake and such are up to date... And then,
work on the rest of the qt5 base....
To answer your question, the include path mess was demessed :)


For major qt version upgrades you need to rebuild the consumers anyways.
