I found debian's obs patch for this issue
https://sources.debian.net/src/obs-studio/0.14.2%2Bdfsg1-3/debian/patches/0002-Buildsystem.patch/
so it looks like I'm on the right path. I don't have easy access to
non-Intel hardware to test my patch, so I'll at least test that it
doesn't break x86_64.  My goal to keep failed builds under 600 went out
the window when I switched a bunch of packages to modular Qt, but I bet
there's a number of similar issues out there for failed builds among
armhf and mips.
