Running in QT Creator often makes it easier to debug - it shows stdout
which is always useful. The usual reason I find for builds exiting
like that is that one of the (very poorly documented) QtWebEngine
components is missing - for example, this little bit of nightmare from
pkg/mac/complete-bundle.sh:

if [ "$lib_bn" = "QtWebEngineCore" ]; then
# QtWebEngineCore has some required resources
cp -R $QTDIR/lib/$qtfw_path/Resources $lib_loc/
cp -R $QTDIR/lib/$qtfw_path/Helpers $lib_loc/
ln -s Versions/Current/Helpers
"$bundle/Contents/Frameworks/QtWebEngineCore.Framework/Helpers"
fi
