The closure of ‘qtbase’ is unreasonable large, and this is in part
because it retains a reference to GCC:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

This comes from a CMake file:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ grep -r 5lqhcv91ijy82p92ac6g5xw48l0lwwz4 /gnu/store/0zqk6bmgvwxh1kx963hhknwnqh3h0iik-qtbase-6.3.2

We should remove this reference.

Fixed with commit 98c17c14829349d4838186400541a7cd650b64d0; there's was
convenient QT_EMBED_TOOLCHAIN_COMPILER build switch we can use to
disable embedding the compilers in the CMake files.

Thanks for the report!
