And I guess folks here are not familiar with qmake.

If you are willing to get qmake working for you, rebuild PrintFunctionNames with cmake
and check which compiler options were used (you may need to use make VERBOSE=1),
then reproduce them in qmake project.

I don't doubt about it :)

Well, if your tool will run on 1 source file per invocation, it doesn't influence indeed...
