Note the resemblence of this error:

...to that reported in #326470:

...which was reported against Qt3 3:3.3.4-7, on powerpc, but made mention of 
the problem being somehow related to the lack of altivec on the reporter's 
build system.

So perhaps Qt3 is being built against certain hardware, and doesn't work 
properly against hardware which doesn't have all the features of the buildd 
hardware. For this reason, I would be very curious to see if kdenetwork 
succeeds on vore, since it has always built there before, as has Qt3, 
kdelibs, etc.

Thanks,
