This seems to be caused by the recent switch to sip6 in pyqt5.

Upstream recently added support for sip6 in their non-LTR, but those 
changes aren't enough for build 3.16.x successfully with sip6:

  Querying qmake about your Qt installation...
  These bindings will be built: analysis.
  Generating the analysis bindings...
  sip-build: Unable to find file "QtCore/QtCoremod.sip"

  ...

  Querying qmake about your Qt installation...
  These bindings will be built: 3d.
  Generating the 3d bindings...
  sip-build: Unable to find file "QtXml/QtXmlmod.sip"

These files are provided by pyqt5-dev under
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/PyQt5/bindings/ but not found for some 
reason.

We may have to wait for the QGIS 3.22.4 LTR in February to be able to 
build successfully with sip6.

Dmitry, do you have any suggestion how to fix the sip6 support in qgis?

Kind Regards,

Bas
