    On latest master, make HOST=arm-linux-gnueabihf in depends ends with:

    /usr/lib/gcc-cross/arm-linux-gnueabihf/4.8/../../../../arm-linux-gnueabihf/bin/ld: /store/orion/projects/bitcoin/bitcoin-arm/depends/arm-linux-gnueabihf/lib/libXau.a(AuGetBest.o): relocation R_ARM_THM_MOVW_ABS_NC against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/store/orion/projects/bitcoin/bitcoin-arm/depends/arm-linux-gnueabihf/lib/libXau.a: error adding symbols: Bad value

    arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++ --version shows arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++ (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.8.2-16ubuntu4) 4.8.2

    Oh never mind - I see I'm accidentally building with UI and Wallet support, which I didn't before, probably this is no new issue. Without UI it still works fine.

    Yes, probably not a new issue, but I'll fix it anyway. QT is disabled for our ARM builds because it must be built for particular arm hardware (there may be a generic arm+mesa or so target in recent qt5 releases, I haven't checked lately). It still may be useful to build our depends and use them to build a custom static qt.

    @laanwj I had no trouble getting to Qt, with either qt4 or qt5. Obviously the qt compile itself bombed, but none of the X libs gave me any trouble. Using ubuntu's arm-linux-gnueabihf toolchain.

    @theuni I think we should just document the lack of Qt support in depends on ARM (and probably other fancy architectures) and close this, just not worth spending time on,
