The plot thickens! Albert Astals Cid got every variant to work, see build details at
 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=405422#c4

I have provisionally closed the bug with reason WORKSFORME (i.e. works for
Albert --- I cannot build and test KF5 and the latest KDE Games code on Apple).

Jeremy, are you still a KDE developer? If so, can you figure this out, maybe with
help from Albert. I am a little worried that this problem could escape into the next
release of KDE Apps, which is only a month away, but I am confident that Albert has
everything under control as usual.

Regardless of the release, what build-combination is this problem coming from?
Whatever it is needs to be stopped in its tracks before it gets any further.

Cheers,
Ian W.
