Profiles are actually linked to platforms. They are aggregated.
I.e. profile "myQt5" can aggregate platform "x86".
The Qt build in "myQt5" better points to a Qt build for x86 of course.

It's not so different from what Qt Creator has. A Kit is linked to a Qt 
version and a toolchain.

To link a profile to a platform one must set the qbs.platform property 
in the profile to the desired platform name.
