I developed a new patcher using Qt with a totally different design.
It should support native and cross builds without modifing the executable file.
It supports Qt4.8 and Qt5(after 5.6) native builds and Qt5(after 5.6) cross builds(only for Android by now). https://github.com/Fsu0413/QQtPatcher

QtBinPatcher

Tool for patching paths in binary and text files of Qt Framework

Building

CMake or qmake is used to build this project.

A compiler that supports C++11 is required.

Instructions for CMake:

Unix-like	Windows (in VS command prompt)	Note
cd /path/to/patcher	cd -d X:\path\to\patcher
mkdir ../build	md ..\build
cd ../build	cd ..\build
cmake ../patcher	cmake ..\patcher -G "NMake Makefiles JOM"	Windows: or -G "MinGW Makefiles" if MinGW is used
make	nmake	Windows: jom can also be used. Use mingw32-make if MinGW is used

and the qtbinpatcher(.exe) executable is generated in the build directory.

Instructions for qmake:

Unix-like	Windows (in VS command prompt)	Note
cd /path/to/patcher	cd -d X:\path\to\patcher
mkdir ../build	md ..\build
cd ../build	cd ..\build
qmake ../patcher	qmake ..\patcher -spec win32-msvc2015	Windows: change "win32-msvc2015" according to your qt installation
make	nmake	Windows: jom can also be used. Use mingw32-make if MinGW is used

How To Use

Unix-like	Windows
cp qtbinpatcher /path/to/qt	copy /y qtbinpatcher.exe X:\path\to\qt
cd /path/to/qt	X:\ && cd \path\to\qt
./qtbinpatcher	qtbinpatcher

Notes for a cross-compiled Qt

To use QtBinPatcher for a cross-compiled Qt, note that the cross-compiled target libs should not be patched by this software.
We use precompiler-macro to deal with this condition.

Add a parameter to CMake/qmake executable to compile a version of QtBinPatcher for cross-compiled Qt, e.g.:
cmake ../patcher -G "NMake Makefiles JOM" -DQTBINPATCHER_QTCROSS=True
qmake ../patcher -spec win32-msvc2015 CONFIG+=qtcross

When build succeed, using "./qtbinpatcher --help"(or "qtbinpatcher.exe --help" for windows) to check if it is built for cross compiled Qt.
