How to cross-compile qt5.9.5 to SDR board ?

You cannot make a shadow build from a source tree containing a previous build
That's why I suggested to build OUTSIDE of the Qt source tree: to keep it clean.
Now, checkout Qt source code again, create a build directory, go that directory and call configure from there.mkdir qt_build cd qt_build PATH_TO_YOUR_QT/qtbase/configure ... -

./configure
You're again calling configure from the Qt source directory. Why?
"installed the latest version qt-5.12.5" - do you mean you checked out Qt 5.12.5 from Git or downloaded its source code as tar.gz archive? So, what exactly did you download?

And you should read what others write more carefully - I already provided an example how to do this. Here once more:mkdir qt_build cd qt_build PATH_TO_YOUR_QT/qtbase/configure ..."I have downloaded the "qt-opensource-linux-x64-5.12.5.run" and installed" - you installed Qt binaries I guess, if you want to compile Qt you need to install Qt source code of course.

I'm not sure, but my guess is that you have to to adapt that mkspec for your device.
"error: verifyspec uses VFP register arguments, verifyspec.o does not" - it looks like different ABI is used. -
Hi,
Is there any mkspec that closely matches your board ?
If so copy it and customize it so it fits your device.
