Is it me or this is a serious issue?

I need linux-32 custom build of Qt-5.6.x (and Qt-5.9.x), first Qt-5.6
dropped support for linux-32, and now the Qt Company/Project broke
branch/tag git build!

I think there's a issue with other submodules that point to 'master'
instead of '5.6.0':
 - qtrepotools
 - qtqa
 - qtfeedback
 - qtdocgallery
