Hello

When building PyQt4 against Qt5, I got this error:

    Determining the layout of your Qt installation...
    Error: Unable to find the qmake configuration file
    /usr/share/qt/mkspecs/linux-g++-64/qmake.conf.
    Use the QMAKESPEC environment
    variable to specify the correct platform.

I thought this might be a distro related problem, as the makepsec directory was not where it was expected it to be. However, after a bit of research, I discovered that the default install directories have been changed for Qt5 and a new option "-archdatadir" has been added (details can be found here: https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,35495).

I used QMAKESPEC to solve the immediate problem, but it would be nice if the configure script had support for "-archdatadir", as it appears that that is what distros should now use to specify the makespec directory (as opposed to "-datadir").
