[Qbs] Linker Flags auto escaping troubles

[Timur Kristóf]

Hi Benjamin,

The solution is described here:
http://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/qbs/2017-May/001735.html

Short answer: try driverFlags instead of linkerFlags.

This question comes up quite often, it might be worth to put it into a
FAQ or something.

Hope this helps,
Timur
