+Subject: [PATCH] qtwebkit: fix QA issue (bad RPATH)
+
+Building qtwebkit causes a QA issue such that QtWebPluginProcess and
+QtWebProcess contain bad RPATHs which point into the build location. This fix
+adds a patch to not include the rpath.prf which causes this problem.

+Subject: [PATCH] Remove TEXTREL tag in x86
+
+Fix textrel QA warnings when building qtwebkit for x86:
+
+  WARNING: QA Issue: ELF binary '/home/andre/rdk/rdk-master/build-vbox32/tmp/work/core2-32-rdk-linux/qtwebkit/5.4.0-r0/packages-split/qtwebkit/usr/lib/libQt5WebKit.so.5.4.0' has relocations in .text [textrel]
+
+Patch from upstream webkit:
+
+  https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70610
+
+Minor refresh required to apply cleanly to the older webkit sources used
+by qtwebkit. Specifically, the patch needed to be modified to account
+for PLATFORM(MAC) -> OS(DARWIN) renaming in recent webkit which is not
+part of qtwebkit yet ( https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99683 ).

+Subject: [PATCH] Fix linking with libpthread
+
+WebKit use libpthread directly but is depending on other qt modules
+causing it to be linked against, which might break unless -lpthread
+is last. Instead just add it explicitly after the static libraries.
