    Description

      At the momement, only ARM64 platform is listed as supported on Windows on ARM. Microsoft promotes the use of ARM64EC (see https://blogs.windows.com/windowsdeveloper/2021/06/28/announcing-arm64ec-building-native-and-interoperable-apps-for-windows-11-on-arm/ and https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/arm/arm64ec ) as another ABI for Windows on ARM, on Windows 11 in particular, which provides better interoperability between x86_64 and ARM code.

      There meanwhile multiple attempts to get Qt running with ARM64EC and problem reports from different parties ranging from build problems to runtime issues. At the time of writing this, Qt 6.7.0 fails to run "configure" when ARM64EC is used.

      It should also be investigated if and how ARM64EC can be supported on Qt 6.8 which has its Feature Freeze very soon.
