Well, qmake only generates makefiles.  GCC has /usr/lib hardcoded in its library resolver search path and is always
used implicitly, so that should not be a problem.  If qmake is not using its linker symbol ($(GXX) or $(LD)) to
generate library search paths if it needs them explicitly, it is certainly a major bug in qmake and should have been
noticed long ago.  The multi-arch paths are in addition to the default paths, not instead of.

How do you know the /usr/lib libraries are not being linked against?  What is the symptom, other than not appearing
explicitly on the command line?
