Hello Valery

You used -developer-build, which means you're declaring yourself a Qt 
developer and you're taking responsibility for fixing any bugs you find with the 
build.

There's an extra comma. Remove it, commit and submit the fix.

You need to switch all modules to 5.6 if you want that, not just 
qtdeclarative. At least qtbase, since it has the definition of macros like 
Q_ALWAYS_INLINE.

You need to switch qtbase to dev branch too, probably others.

development@ is the right mailing list. Replying only to there.
