 You can use the following config fragment:

BR2_arm=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_CUSTOM=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_DOWNLOAD=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_URL="http://autobuild.buildroot.org/toolchains/tarballs/armv5-ctng-linux-gnueabi.tar.xz"
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_CUSTOM_PREFIX="armv5-ctng-linux-gnueabi"
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_GCC_4_8=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_HEADERS_3_12=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_CUSTOM_GLIBC=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_CXX=y

This is one of the toolchains used in the autobuilders. In fact, ideally you
should test all 48 toolchains using the test-pkg script (used to be in
support/scripts, since Saturday it's in utils). But for Qt5 that's going to take
rather long...

 Unfortunately there is no more automated way. For qt5 it would in fact be
possible to write a script since both the URL and the mirrorlist file is quite
predictable so it's easy to scrape. But in general those things are shown in
wildly different ways. You're welcome to contribute a script that automates if
for Qt5 :-)
