No, it's not required, the text could easily be updated without having to
do anything with installation commands. The page could just say that
Poppler can build with both Qt libs but it just won't find both at once
when using BLFS instructions.
Of course, if you would like to change the commands as well so that it
does work that way, that is possible as well.

with both Qt versions having been built at once. I did also test another
run of the testsuite without downloading the test data as described in
BLFS, and I get the same results (11 failures) as given above.

What did you find in qt4/tests/test-suite.log and qt5/tests/test-suite.log
when you got these failures? Every time I've gotten failures it was only
when I had not downloaded the test suite data, and those log files
indicated that every failure was because it could not find a PDF file, and
was looking for that file in the same place where the downloaded testsuite
data should have been.

page.
