Find out which variable(s) contains that in mkspecs/*.pri.
My guess is you're going to find it on variable QT_LIBS_GLIB and the other
glib-based libraries. If that is it, please check whether the following
command also produces -L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu:
pkg-config --libs glib-2.0
If it does, please file a bug against your distribution's pkg-config. It's
broken. It should never list the -L for default library search paths.
Meanwhile, my suggestion is the same as it has always been: don't try to build
stuff whose development files are present in the library and include default
search paths. That is, remove the package that installed /usr/lib/x86_64-
linux-gnu/libQt5Core.so.
Note I said libQt5Core.so, not libQt5Core.so.5; I said "whose development files
are present". I am not talking about an installation for use. I am talking
only about development files. Get rid of them.
