Uff, I tracked this down in a heavy thinking session.

  *

    This search-path stems from the libraries RUNPATH, which was
    $ORIGIN/../../lib and is now only $ORIGIN/../../../

  *

    The RUNPATH is set in
    /gnu/store/…-qtbase-5.9.1/lib/qt5/mkspecs/features/qt.prf line 272,
    using the relative path from $$qtRelativeRPathBase (which equals
    $target.path, which is
    /gnu/store/…-qtbase-5.9.1/lib/qt5/plugins/platforms) to
    $QT_INSTALL_LIBS (which is /gnu/store/…-qtbase-5.9.1/lib).  This
    relative path obviously is ../../../ .

  *

    Prior to this patch we installed the plugins into
    …-qtbase-5.9.1/plugins, which results in the aforementioned relative
    path to be ../../lib and the RUNPATH to be set to $ORIGIN/../../lib.

Conclusions:

1. It's been pure luck that the qtwayland tests passed prior to this change.

2. Do make the tests pass, we need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH prior to
running the tests

3. tests of other packages may fail for the same reason.

I'll take care of the packages in kde-frameworks.scm, I assume/hope
Thomas will take care of the ones in kde.scm.

宋文武, how can we coordinate the required changes? Should they go into one
patch? Or into a series?
