Using cmake with statically linked Qt (Linux embedded EGLFS)

Maxnet

I have written a Qt application that uses CMake as build system, and runs under a minimal custom Linux distribution (EGLFS QPA platform).
Works fine when dynamically linked to Qt. But when I build Qt statically, and just try to compile my application (without making any changes to build script) I get:

CMake Error:

Is there any documentation on what modifications needs to be done in CMakelists.txt to get this to work with a static Qt library?
Only documentation on the Qt site is for qmake projects.

In case somebody else stumbles over this:

Problem seems to be limited to older versions of CMake (like 3.10.2 which comes with Ubuntu 18.04 LTS)
With newer CMake it does work properly.
