That's what I'd expect but not really what I'm looking for here. I could try it once to see if I get the same LTO-related failures, though.

FWIW, I found that I had to remove the `help` module from the `QT` line in assistant.pro because otherwise the linker would use the installed version (5.8.0 in my case, which evidently lacks some API). That surprised me a bit, I would have expected that qmake knows how to link the library from the same project, given that it's marked as a dependency for the assistant target.
