Normally a set of bindings doesn't need to know anything about how any 
%Imported bindings are built because the generated code is entirely 
self-contained. However this is not the case when the /ExportDerived/ 
annotation is used - as it is by the bindings for QQuickItem. Because of 
this you need to tell the build system that your bindings need to be 
linked against QtQuick. To do this add...

qmake-QT = ["quick"]

...to the [tool.sip.bindings.ABCRuntime] section. Hopefully that will 
work.
