QCoreApplication :: applicationVersion does not "recognize" RC_FILE when using Mingw

I've created a rc ( Resource File >) and added it to the project ( winvertest.pro ):

• rcexample.rc

  #include "winver.h"
  
  VS_VERSION_INFO VERSIONINFO
      FILEVERSION 1,0,0,1
      PRODUCTVERSION 1,0,0,1
      FILEFLAGS 0x0L
      FILEFLAGSMASK 0x3fL
      FILEOS 0x00040004L
      FILETYPE 0x1L
      FILESUBTYPE 0x0L
  BEGIN
      BLOCK "StringFileInfo"
      BEGIN
          BLOCK "000004b0"
          BEGIN
              VALUE "CompanyName", "Foo Bar CompanyName"
              VALUE "FileDescription", "Foo bar FileDescription"
              VALUE "FileVersion", "1.0.0.1"
              VALUE "LegalCopyright", "Foo bar LegalCopyright"
              VALUE "InternalName", "foobar"
              VALUE "OriginalFilename", "foobar.exe"
              VALUE "ProductName", "foobar product name"
              VALUE "ProductVersion", "1.0.0.1"
          END
      END
      BLOCK "VarFileInfo"
      BEGIN
          VALUE "Translation", 0x0, 1200
      END
  END
  

• winvertest.pro

  QT += core gui
  
  greaterThan(QT_MAJOR_VERSION, 4): QT += widgets
  
  TARGET = winvertest
  TEMPLATE = app
  
  win32:RC_FILE = rcexample.rc # my rc file
  
  DEFINES += QT_DEPRECATED_WARNINGS
  
  SOURCES += main.cpp
  

• main.cpp

  #include <QDebug>
  #include <QApplication>
  
  int main(int argc, char *argv[])
  {
      QApplication a(argc, argv);
  
      qDebug() << "applicationVersion:" << a.applicationVersion();
  
      return a.exec();
  }
  

Using MSVC2015 32bit , applicationVersion returns:

  

applicationVersion: "1.0.0.1"

But when I use Mingw 5.3.0 returns empty:

  

applicationVersion: ""

Would this be a problem with Mingw, with Qt or I forgot to add something to .pro ?
