It is possible, yes. You can get a cross compiler and build all the 
libraries yourself, add the new tool chain to QtC and keep maintaining 
such an environment. But it is an incredibly big task. It's the wrong 
solution.

Install Oracle VirtualBox, VMWare or something like it, and install any 
recent linux distribution inside it. It's a much much much (and a bit 
more) better solution.

I'm using VirtualBox with a Linux build per customer on my main laptop. 
Easy to switch between setups, and I can save the disk image when I'm 
not working for them, so I can easily get back to it.
