    Description

      Using the following Dockerfile...

      FROM alpine:latest AS build
      
      # Install build dependencies
      RUN apk add --no-cache \
       qt6-qtbase-dev \
       qt6-qtdeclarative-dev \
       g++ \
       make \
       git
      
      WORKDIR /app/QJsonSerializer
      RUN git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Znurre/QJsonSerializer.git . \
       && /usr/lib/qt6/bin/qmake \
       && make -j`nproc` \
       && make install
      

      ...with the following command (on x86_64):

      docker buildx build --platform=linux/arm64/8 .
      

      ...will result in the following error:

      #0 1.952 /usr/lib/qt6/mkspecs/features/toolchain.prf:76: Variable QMAKE_CXX.COMPILER_MACROS is not defined. 
      #0 1.958 Project ERROR: failed to parse default search paths from compiler output
      

      It works good when not using docker buildx. Tested with both Alpine, Ubuntu and ArchLinux ARM. As soon as version of Qt is >= 6.2, qmake will always fail with this error when docker buildx is used.

      It worked good with 6.1.

      Attached qmake debug output when run in the buildx environment.
