qt is QuickThreads, a library that guile uses for userland threading.
I can't imagine what that would be doing in libc.  I don't have any
qt_ symbols in libc on my i386 system, nor is it in the libc provided
by libc6_2.0.7-19981211-1.deb (that's what's in my closest mirror's
unstable directory).  Have you tried linking with -lqt or
-lquickthreads or some such?  IIRC from discussion on the scwm mailing
list, that is what is necessary.
