      Is has been reported to us (at Homebrew) and we confirmed that building Qt5 in a temp dir with the `-prefix=/another/dir` Qt5 will still link to libs in that temp dir for some WebKit components.

      If you run `xcrun otool -L QtWebProcess` you'll see that all except the `QtWebKitWidgets` are linked correctly to the lib at the prefix.

      Same is true for `qml/QtWebKit/libqmlwebkitplugin.dylib` which also links to QtWebKit in the (temp) build dir and not the one in the prefix.

      A workaround is to call `install_name_tool` as a user has reported.

      Do you have a suggestion for us how to quick/fix/patch this other than calling install_name_tool after installation?
