Bug#459379: libqt4-dev: "type qualifiers ignored" warning on GCC 4.3

Package: libqt4-dev
Version: 4.3.3-2
Severity: normal

When using GCC 4.3 to compile, I get lots of warnings:

In file included from /usr/include/qt4/QtCore/qstring.h:40,
                 from /usr/include/qt4/QtCore/QString:1,

These occur (at least partially) because of things like "operator const char()", where the "const" is unneeded and useless. Because qmake uses -Wall -W, I get lots and lots of warnings for every source file.
At the very least, Qt should be -Wall safe, and if it's not -W safe, then qmake shouldn't invoke the compiler with -W. The spurious warnings make finding real warnings or errors very difficult. 

This is severity normal because GCC 4.3 is not yet the default compiler.
