qmake uses wrong gcc version. How to change gcc version used?

The compile log is

You can see that -I/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.7/include is used
when there are two version of gcc installed 4.7 and 8.
How to make it work with gcc-8?

update-alternatives --display gcc outputs

gcc - automatic mode
  link best version is /usr/bin/gcc-8
  ссылка сейчас указывает на /usr/bin/gcc-8
  link gcc is /usr/bin/gcc
/usr/bin/gcc-4.7 — priority 20
/usr/bin/gcc-8 — priority 800

How to make it work with gcc-8?

Run the command below before building the program. Not sure if it also works with qmake, it sure does the trick with cmake:

export CXX="g++-8"
export CC="gcc-8"

Put these in your .pro file.
QMAKE_CC = gcc-???
QMAKE_CXX = g++-???
Where "???" is gcc and g++ version you want to use.
These links are usefull by the way:

By Setting QMAKE_CC and QMAKE_CXX you do not need to use "update-alternatives" command each time that you switch between projects. (you may want one project compile with g++7 and the other with g++8)
