Linking of fontconfig and gstreamer with Qt fails

Kart

I have been trying to cross-compile my own Qt5.9.1 for an arm platform. I have cross compiled fontconfig, gstreamer and tslib. All of these are installed in the same directory.
Configuration i am following is

./configure -opensource -confirm-license -xplatform linux-hi3520d-g++ -no-egl -skip wayland -no-opengl -nomake examples -c++std c++11 -v -prefix /opt/qt/qt5.9.1arm -proprietary-codecs -gstreamer -fontconfig -tslib -alsa

Error i am getting is

ERROR: Feature 'fontconfig' was enabled, but the pre-condition '!config.win32 && !config.darwin && features.system-freetype && libs.fontconfig' failed.

ERROR: Feature 'gstreamer' was enabled, but the pre-condition 'features.gstreamer_1_0 || features.gstreamer_0_10' failed.

config.log with gstreamer 1.0 part

looking for library gstreamer_1_0
Trying source 0 (type pkgConfig) of library gstreamer_1_0 ...
pkg-config use disabled globally.
  => source produced no result.
test config.multimedia.libraries.gstreamer_1_0 FAILED

When source 0 fails, why it is not searching for source 1, which it does for freetype and alsa ?

Why fontconfig is not able to find libexpat which is cross-compiled and installed in the same prefix ?

I have also tried exporting LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PKG_CONFIG_PATH during the cross compilation of all the packages mentioned above. I will be happy to give you more details.
Thank you for your time.

I was able to solve the problem where fontconfig was not able to find libexpat by adding the following in my xplatform qmake.conf

QMAKE_LINK = $HOST-g++ -lts -L/opt/qt/qt5.9.1arm/lib -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/opt/qt/qt5.9.1arm/lib

QMAKE_LINK_SHLIB= $HOST-g++ -lts -L/opt/qt/qt5.9.1arm/lib -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/opt/qt/qt5.9.1arm/lib
