I tried your patches. syncqt.pl is included now, but my application still did not compile.
I had to remove qttools-plugins, because it gave me a "cannot install qttools-plugins" error while generating the toolchain - maybe this was the reason why the libs were not included?
Now I tested hacking it into qtbase.inc and it seems to include the qtdesigner libs:
