    1111> I'll wait for my mentors to chime in, but I guess the acceptable fix is to set use_xcode for qt5 temporarily for now, right?

    13 It would be a workaround. The better fix would be to backport the changes that make Xcode usage optional to older Qt5 versions (since, like previously said, Qt5 has a habit of deprecating macOS versions quite aggressively, so that older platforms are forced to use older, unmaintained Qt5 versions). I don't know how much effort that would be, though. There were definitely changes to that one file, which are crucial, but we might need even more changes to make it work **correctly** (see opportunistic compiler usage, which [UsingTheRightCompiler is not what we want].
