Hi! Starting from Qt 5.2.0 (most probably from rc1 and definitely not from 
beta1 currently in experimental) Qt5 will switch qreal from float to double on 
arm*.

We have the option to keep some archs in float by passing a compilation 
parameter. I've done so for armel and sh4, so only armhf will switch to 
double.

Of course we are still on time to discuss this, and this is the reason of this 
mail. What do you think WRT the above changes?

On the other hand, if the above change is kept, symbols for Qt5 on armhf 
managed with pkg-kde-tools' symbolshelper will need an explicit double for 
armhf instead of using qreal's subst. This is because on Qt4 qreal will be 
kept as float.

Any feedback will be kindly appreciated.

Kinds regards, Lisandro.
