The symbol is present in the 5.8.0 version in the build tree, but not in the 
installed version.

How do I check that?

NB: it's only lrelease that fails, all other build steps complete just fine. I 
presume other executables must be called that also require new ABIs/symbols from 
QtCore . Setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH and QT_PLUGIN_PATH by hand I can also run just 
about any existing binary against Qt 5.8 .

That's the installed library, not the one it should be using as long as 5.8.0 
has not been installed.

Something is different between lrelease and other executables: ldd's output 
doesn't change for it when I set LD_LIBRARY_PATH as it does for qtdiag, for 
instance. Both result from the same build:
