Longer term this will need to be removed, but for now this should be benign.

Elements like this may not be need now at all so we might be able to
remove them.  You could try removing it,

The OpenSceneGraph/FindGDAL.cmake searches a range of standard
locations for the files but if it's not in these then it won't be able
to find it.  How have you installed GDAL?  Did you set the GDAL_DIR?

It's in the NEWS for the release, osgQt has been moved out into its
own dedicated project.

I don't recall any relevant build changes in the rc's or since 3.6.0
was released.  It's very hard to debug platform problems remotely,  so
it might your colleagues who've had a successful build who might be
able to spot what specifically went.  If there is an OSG CMake error
somewhere then we can roll a fix into the OSG.
