[Development] Qt 5.6.0-rc build issues on Windows 7 with VC2015 x86 -target XP

[Walter Stefan]

Hi,

I am receiving the following compilation error and thought I should share it here.
I am using the source from: qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.6.0-rc.7z
Is this already solved for the final release?

        nmake -f Makefile.core_gyp_generator.Debug
