there is no need to make it ignore anything, as -lQtCore would not find
any of the above files. the unversioned symlink would be found by virtue
of adding -L/usr/lib64/qt5/lib to the linker command line, and that
directory (which you get from qmake -query QT_INSTALL_LIBS) containing
said unversioned symlink. this really isn't rocket science ...
