Yes, see the following for detail:

Thanks a lot for your hints.  But I've tried to comment out the following 
block in that file and also can complile it successfully:

----------
#linux-g++ {
#isEmpty($$(SBOX_DPKG_INST_ARCH)):exists(/usr/bin/ld.gold) {
#    message(Using gold linker)
#    QMAKE_LFLAGS+=-fuse-ld=gold
#}
#}
----------

What's the difference between this two workarounds?
