Yes, with one core the the log is more verbose.

You're not linking against xkb lib

here it is:

I've just checked libxkbcommon-dev and libxkbcommon-x11-dev on RPi. As on Ubuntu they are installed and are newest versions.

So sync them to your sysroot in the host PC!
As on Ubuntu they are installed and are newest versions.
Forget about that, it doesn't matter.
For cross-compilation you need your libraries + headers installed properly in target device (RPi), then copy (synchronize) some folders from your target device into the sysroot folder in your host PC (with Ubuntu) and only then attempt to build (Qt framework, modules, your application).
Please take a look at this guide for cross-compiling Qt for RPi

I proceeded exactly as described on the page you mentioned.
Sure I performed the resync with RPi -

I'm not going to argue in contrary, so your next task is to figure out why even having rsync'd the file is missing from your sysroot folder...
/home/pavel/pavel/raspi/sysroot/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libxkbcommon.so.0.0.0: cannot open
-
The file isn't missing. It's there:
Well, it's somewhere else but not in the expected location it seems...
/home/pavel/pavel/raspi/sysroot/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libxkbcommon.so.0.0.0is different from the location in your last post (again, please stop posting screenshots!)
/home/raspi/sysroot/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libxkbcommon.so.0.0.0 -
Sorry, I've been mistaken while executing:
file /home/pavel/raspi/sysroot/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libxkbcommon.so.0.0.0the correct result is here:

I contacted Ran Benita, the developer of xkbcommon package, and exposed him the problem. After some checks on my system, here is his conclusion:
"The version of libxkbcommon you have in your arm-linux-gnueabihf raspi/sysroot is very very old. Qt requires a newer version. You should update your cross-compilation environment to something more recent."
Where /home/pavel/raspi/sysroot/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libxkbcommon.so comes from ?

From your Raspberry Pi when you're syncing it...
What exact OS (including version) do you run on it? -
Well ... I did it just before resync. Then, as I remember, after some manipulations with other staff, system proposed to remove unused files ... and I did it. Ok, I'll try to upgrade one more time. Then what should I check on RPi3, that xkbcommon package is latest version ?

please be aware that @jsulm is suggesting to update your OS, not just that library/package...
Latest Raspbian release is Buster
-
Yes, I understood the suggestion and upgraded system ... but being within "jessie". The Buster is quite new version, released 3-4 months ago. Ran Benita qualified xkbcommon staff, that caused problems and that originates from Raspberry (if my comprehension is correct), as "very very old". So, let's say in May 2019 (before Buster) it was impossible to install Qt toolchain ... or I missed something ? I've just checked upgrade to Buster ... according to some manual I've found on the web, it could take several hours. So, is it really necessary to upgrade to Buster ?
