As per the comments to that change, it’s a) not going to fly and b) not the 
choice a single person can make, even if that person is the maintainer of Qt 
Core :)

A more pragmatic and scalable choice seems to be to not try to support mixing 
C++ versions in a static build of Qt. I see no reason for doing that, and 
explicitly disallowing that option would create clarity for anyone trying to do 
so.
