[Development] Suggested platforms for CI, packaging and RTA in Qt 5.3

Hi, these are great news for me. Do you plan to use RHEL6's default 
compiler (which is GCC 4.4, and therefore *very* limited C++11 support), or 
the Red Hat Developer Toolset [1] which, as of the 2.0 version, comes with 
GCC 4.8?

Also, the list contains "RedHat enterprise_6_x32". However, "x32" is an 
experimental ABI using 32bit pointers on 64bit CPUs of the x86-64 family 
[1], so it might be better to call it something else -- perhaps i686 or 
just 32bit?

Cheers,
Jan
