I just got QGIS 3 compiling against Qt 5.8, using some custom Homebrew
formulae on macOS 10.11.6. However, Homebrew is still a day or two off from
fully supporting Qt 5.8 in all the packages that QGIS uses.

I have not noticed any major runtime errors beyond this one, specific to
macOS:
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-57706
That causes QGIS to stall upon loading the splash screen, requiring the
user to hit Return twice to proceed. Definite regression in Qt 5.7.x -->
5.8.0.

On the plus side, for macOS, all the icons now show up properly for actions
in the menus.
