[Qbs] Passing unescaped flags to the linker

What I did was to set up scan-build as a compiler wrapper in my qbs file, so
arm-none-eabi-g++ ...
becomes
scan-build arm-none-eabi-g++ ...
And it didn't complain for any of those flags. But this was months
ago, and I couldn't exactly figure out how to make it work (due to
qbs-unrelated issues), so maybe the latest version of the static
analyzer works differently now.

After my initial experiments, I thought there must be someone who made
it work, so I posted a StackOverflow question.
It is still unsolved, but maybe it is of some help to you:

Now we are off-topic with regards to the qbs mailing list, but I'm
very interested in your static analyzer effort, so please let me know
if you find a way to get it working!

Thanks,
