Look like debbuild doesn’t works well when used for cross compiling (I don’t have enough ram for native building on the target device) :

As result, I’m unable to distribute an ubuntu independent static executable (or rather distribution independent at all https://softwarerecs.stackexchange.com/q/50597/2341)

The problem above is rather an xyz one. As far I know, Qt4 as well as Qt5 are the only dev package in ubuntu where a version suitable for static linking whereas this is as simple as passing -static to configure if building inside the correct environment (which I added to debian/rules). This concerns all architectures, and not only those in third party ports.

If you refuse to fix it for Qt4, please fix it for Qt5 !
