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

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

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.

Version: 4.4.0-2

I've re-tested, and Qt 4.4 doesn't have this problem.
