That's correct

We've asked upstream in the mentioned bugreport what the correct behaviour
should be (should the suffix be 'd4' of '4d'? where does the '4' come from?).
Unfortunately we haven't seen any response to that question so our best guess
is to work around it in the qmake mkspecs files for now until upstream provides
more information.

The win32 binaries provided by upstream all use the suffix 'd4' as well so our
packaging looks okay from that point of view
