I'm quite confident that it will "just work". Modifying the mkspec files to
use lto produces a bad Webkit, but this is not important for you. Lto is
broken in my build, so forget about this.

On the other hand, why rebuild what you already have? Only reason would be
optimization, but I wouldn't bother. You should be able to use the new GCC
version to link the older libraries. Just use the new compiler for your
current project, using prebuilt libs.

(I'm having some qmake/make problems, but I'm not sure if it's my fault or
my build's fault :-( )
