I can try to contact the upstream and ask them to recompile this program. 
But I need more information for preparing such a letter:

1. What exactly is different in the way we compile qtbase and, say, 
Ubuntu? (they definitely support Ubuntu)

2. What exactly have they to do to recompile their (secret) sources to be 
compatible with our Qt6? Does this require introducing some changes to the 
sources, or is just recompiling with some changed flag(s) sufficient?

3. In the case they recompile, will the new binary remain compatible with 
Ubuntu, Debian, RHEL? Or will 2 different binaries be necessary?
