A little while ago I also asked the same question.
Basically, you want to give options to the compiler frontend of the
linker (the "driver"), but the cpp.linkerFlags in Qbs regulate linker
flags, not driver flags.

The answer is to use cpp.driverFlags instead. So the options you give
in driverFlags will also be given to every compiler command, but that's
not really an issue.

You can take a look here to see how I solved it:

Hope this helps,
