Hello Qt QtWebEngine and Chromium in the Qt 5.6 branch have been patched to allow linking with system libraries on Linux instead of bundled libraries. For most libraries the system library will be used if development files are detected on the system. ICU and FFMPEG however defaults to using the bundled copies and requires using qmake arguments to configure to use system versions. The required arguments are listed in qmake configure status (just delete .qmake.cache and run qmake to run the configure step again). Note that for FFMPEG, the libav libraries from the FFMPEG project are required, the libraries from the libav project does not work.
I have so far only tested on Debian. If more people could test it we could also get better detection and set proper minimal versions. If you are a packager and more is required before QtWebEngine can be packaged on your distribution, please let me know.
