This debian stretch is a fresh install, no upgrade from older versions.
The problem was the system libglib2 version :
we had to manualy upgrade libglib2 package to debian sid version :
dirty solution but after that no more g_date_copy errors
thanks for the support @lovell 😃
It was the same problem on Ubunto 20.04.2 on Orange Pi 4B. I use pcmanfm and go to /usr/local/lib and find the problem file libglib-2.0.so I see properties and there is “target file” libglib-2.0.so.0.5200.3 Also I see problem file libgobject-2.0.so.0 with “Target file” libgobject-2.0.so.0.5200.3 I delete this two files and also do in console “sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libgobject-2.0.so.0 /usr/local/lib” After this my Qt 5.15.3 can work with make well! No more “g_date_copy” error. https://medium.com/@Aenon/glib-symbol-lookup-bug-in-debian-or-ubuntu-def678dab5a6
