Agreed. qmleasing needs --help.

Then they need to be built with INSTALL_VERSIONED_LINK to the CMake command 
qt_internal_add_app().

qtplugininfo cannot read Qt 5 plugins because it uses QPluginLoader to 
actually parse the metadata. So it needs INSTALL_VERSIONED_LINK. Rewriting it 
to decode the Qt 4.x, 5.0-5.11, 5.12-6.2 and 6.3 plugin metadata formats is 
possible, but I don't think anyone will invest the time.

I don't even know what instancer does:

$ ~/obj/qt/installed/bin/instancer --help
Could not read instance table --help
$ ~/obj/qt/installed/bin/instancer --version
Could not read instance table --version
$ ~/obj/qt/installed/bin/instancer          
Usage: /home/tjmaciei/obj/qt/installed/bin/instancer INFILE [OUTFILE]

Are you sure it's user-facing?
