Even when applying the following patch (to provide core5compat for QTextCodec):

There are errors such like these:
> src/winDialog.cpp:35:10: fatal error: QDirModel: No such file or directory
> src/global.cpp:2272:67: error: ‘SkipEmptyParts’ is not a member of ‘QString’
> src/functions.cpp:347:42: error: invalid use of incomplete type ‘class QActionGroup’
etc.

If we are to last-rite this, we may want to provide for a longer pkgmasked time for people to migrate away to different backup software.
