By the same, you mean that PrefixPath==DataPath, i.e. neither one has /share?
That's what I said, yes. (can also be seen in the output of `qmake -query`).

Hmm ok so maybe DataPath + /share, with the understanding that "DataPath" is 
what people might change because they want Qt's data elsewhere, and they'll 
get a share subdir in there... A bit confusing that it won't match what xdg 
calls the "data dir", but still better than ignoring --datadir altogether.
