I have no idea, however it smells like CC not being overriden in your recipe.

I suppose this error is from your qt application recipe, right?

Should CC be overridden in my recipe?  It is a Qt application, and everything is (almost entirely) done by simply adding these lines:

inherit qmake5
require recipes-qt/qt5/qt5.inc

It seems to be all that is necessary to have qmake read the <app>.pro file, and proceed to compile the application - except for the toolchain not being found..

And, yes, this error is from my Qt application recipe.
