I'm not sure "what changed" from previous versions,
IIRC nothing change regarding the build process,
and most of the things we are trying to do is a WIP
at the moment.

What's the last version you built using this approach?
and which one is the one giving you troubles?

I guess that your problem
is that you are mixing two approaches,
you either use CMake, or use the setuptools that we provide,
because in the second approach we take care of all the details
related caveats to do a proper Python build process.

So, I'd say you either use a:

cmake -B build path/to/pyside2 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/some/path
cmake --build build
# Then an install to where you want to package it
# cmake --install build


or use the setuptools via

python setup.py install .....
