I'm packaging/porting Qt on FreeBSD (and helping on NetBSD/OpenBSD) so I 
noticed when updating our ports to 5.7 that the GTK2 plugin got replaced with 
a GTK3 plugin.

The sources of gtk2 have been moved (in as copied) there last year:

https://codereview.qt-project.org/gitweb?p=qt/qtstyleplugins.git;a=commit;h=102da7d50231fc5723dba6e72340bef3d29471aa

so what basically is needed is an update of the tarball for the qtstyleplugins 
for Qt 5.7.

Maybe one of the QtC people can arrange that so that you can compile the 
styles with your 5.7 binaries yourself and install them into your plugins and 
try again ?
