[oe] [meta-qt5] qtwebengine in master fails to build

[Carlos Rafael Giani]

Hello,

I tried to build qtwebengine, but there is a linker error:

[6/6694] LINK genmacro
FAILED:

Looking at the ninja 
fileqtwebengine-opensource-src-5.4.0/src/core/Release/obj.host/src/3rdparty/chromium/third_party/yasm/genmacro.ninja 
, apparently this part is causing problems:

build genmacro: link $
obj.host/src/3rdparty/chromium/third_party/yasm/source/patched-yasm/tools/genmacro/genmacro.genmacro.o

It is linking with arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-g++ , but the object file is 
built with the host's compiler. Considering the name "genmacro", I 
suspect this is some kind of generator tool that is supposed to be run 
as part of the build process, so therefore the linker should be the host 
one. But I have no knowledge about ninja or the webengine internals, so 
I do not know how to fix that. Any suggestions?
