I found the problem.  Why it's a problem is not clear to me but the
cause of the problem was using QT5 instead of QT4.  Once I removed the
QT5 libraries and compiled with QT4, everything worked again.  I
wouldn't have noticed it without using the Mageia 5 mythbackend package.
 For what it's worth, that Mageia 5 backend package is from Oct 2014 so
that is considerably older than what I was running.

Have a nice day!
