I see a fourth option too, which is a variant of a:

a-bis) archdatadir exists, but its default is inadequate
	configure -prefix /usr -bindir %{_libdir}/qt5/bin -datadir %{_datadir}/qt5 
\
		-archdatadir %{_libdir}/qt5 -nomake examples -nomake tests
	[same as a-original]

a-ter) archdatadir exists and its default is adequate, but we still don't 
manage symlinks:
	configure -prefix /usr -bindir %{_libdir}/qt5/bin \
		-nomake examples -nomake tests
	[same as a-orginal]

Considering you've agreed to adding archdatadir, let's discard the a-original 
option. We have then four options due to having two decisions: the defaults 
for archdatadir and datadir, and the managing of symlinks or not.
