This way, it's possible to tell which applications and libraries depend on the Qt private API and of which Qt library. Linux distributions can use this information to decide which applications need to be recompiled every time Qt itself is rebuilt. This is done by scanning all class and struct definitions in the private headers (we've already got the list from syncqt). I opted to add a new script instead of modifying syncqt because then this can run in parallel with the rest of the compilation, as opposed to during qmake time. Another advantage is that it catches modifications to the headers in between qmake executions. Since this is already Unix specific, it should be no problem to use Perl. This solution is limited to use of non-inline symbols of classes declared in private headers. It will not catch free variables (such as qsimd_p.h's qt_cpu_features), use of inlined functions or just plain use of a class/struct for accessing its data members. However, this is already better than nothing and should help Linux distributions quite a lot. And there's no way to catch the latter issue anyway.
