Thanks a lot for looking into this! However, there is one thing that this doesn't seem to address: the installation part. Currently, the staging installation is just: make install with no DESTDIR/INSTALL_ROOT, and therefore for the target installation, we have to manually install libraries, QML files and other stuff, which is really annoying to maintain. Ideally, we would like Qt5 to behave like most other packages, and do: make INSTALL_ROOT=$(STAGING_DIR) install for the staging installation, and: make INSTALL_ROOT=$(TARGET_DIR) install for the target installation. This change is not strictly needed for per-package host/target directories, but I really would like to take the opportunity of changing all this Qt5 logic to also address this related problem. I had prepared something like this: https://github.com/tpetazzoni/buildroot/commit/05e776abf531319a749f5a7d65f265979ea6c4ab, but I don't remember if it was working completely or not.
