There is support for CMake there as well. I believe it pre-dates qt5
release and it predates using multiarch by default, therefore your
mileage may vary. I believe it still assumed, now deprecated, xdeb /
dpkg-cross. Or, well, use them to the extend they were usable to
perform cross-compilation. (it still was a lot, it's just with proper
multiarch implementation it's now possible to do in automated way for
a larger amount of packages)
