Compiling Qt with the depends system is currently broken on OSX with Xcode 8 upstream Qt bug (Xcode 8 is no longer in beta).
This patches qtbase/configure and qtbse/mkspecs/features/mac/default_pre.prf to work around the issue.
Up for discussion wether we patch this now, wait for a 5.6.2 release and move depends to it, or leave this broken until we move to 5.7 / 5.8 in future.
Looks good. I think applying the patch on all platforms shouldn't hurt.
I have never used the depends build system on OSX, but I'll give it try soon.

Qt 5.6.2 has been released yesterday. So we could get rid of the patch by bumping from 5.6.1 to 5.6.2, if that makes sense.
On master I'd rather make a major version bump, I remember there were some other reasons to go to 5.7. For 0.13.1 it could make sense, although we already have this patch, so it'd depend on what else is fixed there.
<strike>There should be no issue with 0.13, as the branch is on 5.5
Oh, 0.13 is on 5.6.1 as well. Not sure what to do then. Qt 5.7 is tracked over there: #8237
