BuildScripts uses git submodules, which refer to revisions, not to
tags. But the problem seems even more complex, because it could happen
that starting from revisions that was taken out all tagged builds are
broken.

That's great. Can anybody filter BuildScripts clone to depend on these
canonical repositories for previous revisions, and reupload it so that
we could have a working bisect there?

In the meanwhile I've created a pull request at
https://github.com/PySide/BuildScripts/pull/5 to fix BuildScrips so
that people can compile current HEAD for testing.
