+Subject: [PATCH] qt: Allow enabling of QtWebKit with GCC 6+
+
+Building Qt with QtWebKit on configuration step there is
+a check which disables QtWebKit build with GCC 6+.
+Back in the day nobody thought about building Qt with GCC
+version greater than 5.x. And now with modern GCCs like
+6.x and 7.x this assumption gets in the way.
+
+Given in Buildroot today we don't have GCC older than 4.9 
+it should be safe to remove now meaningless check completely.
