-separate-debug-info not supported (broken) on Apple platforms

Error:
When specifying "-separate-debug-info" on OS X builds, configure fails due to the missing variable QMAKE_OBJCOPY.
Unfortunately, one cannot easily set this variable to "QMAKE_OBJCOPY = objcopy" like for the Linux builds as objcopy is not available on OS X.
There are workarounds available which use a ported version of the Unix/Linux objcopy on OS X.
However, I am not an OS X expert and others certainly know how to fix this properly.
