Link arm-linux-gnu*-8 to arm-linux-gnu* and aarch64-linux-gnu*-8 to aarch64-linux-gnu*:

$ sudo su
$ cd /usr/bin
$ for f in $(ls arm-linux-gnu*-8);do ln -sf $f $(echo $f|sed "s/-8//");done 
$ for f in $(ls aarch64-linux-gnu*-8);do ln -sf $f $(echo $f|sed "s/-8//");done
$ exit

$ sudo mkdir -p /opt/toolchain_Qt_V5.11.3/rk3288/
$ sudo tar -zxf rk3288_toolchain_Qt_V5.11.3_*.tar.gz -C /opt/toolchain_Qt_V5.11.3/rk3288/

For RK3399

$ sudo rm -rf /opt/toolchain_Qt_V5.11.3/rk3399/ 
$ sudo mkdir -p /opt/toolchain_Qt_V5.11.3/rk3399/
