qmake, moc, various utilities for maintaining Qt object registries... there
will be a lot of build tools, and you would need to force them to build
native instead of linux if you wanted to get away with not having the
linuxulator installed. (This will be hard if they are part of another build
that needs to be linux.) Same applies to gtk and dependents. And their
respective upstreams likely have no interest in what amounts to a
cross-compilation setup: too much difficult (and difficult for them to
test) work, very little demand.
