Applied to this to Adélie's musl package in a dev overlay and rebooted a
box with this patch applied.

What a fantastic little show!

When X tried to start up, further fireworks:

Where khintssettings.cpp contains:

68    const QString looknfeel = cg.readEntry("LookAndFeelPackage",
defaultLookAndFeelPackage);
70    if (looknfeel != defaultLookAndFeelPackage) {


And defaultLookAndFeelPackage is defined earlier in the source file as a
constant:

static const QString defaultLookAndFeelPackage =
QStringLiteral("org.kde.breeze.desktop");


We can see that defaultLookAndFeelPackage was not initialised correctly:

(gdb) printqs5static looknfeel
$9 = (Qt5 QString)0xffffdde0 length=22: "org.kde.breeze.desktop"
(gdb) printqs5static defaultLookAndFeelPackage
$10 = (Qt5 QString)0xe2d0be90 length=Cannot access memory at address 0x4


It therefore seems to me that this patch still needs some refining.
