It works for me on NetBSD 6 with pkgsrc-current. Are you on
NetBSD-current? or do you mean that you use pkgsrc-current with wip?
One thing about xcb, I have had problems with xcb and qt5 on NetBSD 6.
having X11_TYPE=modular in mk.conf fixes this.
When I was trying to build liblxqt it was using -fPIE to build the
shared library so it messed up. Does this happen to you? I tracked it
down to qt5/lib/cmake/Qt5Core/Qt5CoreConfigExtras.cmake adding -fPIE.
