kdenetwork just built successfully on auric, so this FTBFS must be the
result of a more subtle bug, likely in qt-x11-free. I'm merging it with the
aforementioned powerpc report.
Qt3's build system is dodgy, to say the least. For instance, on the i386
architecture, it must be built on an i686 piece of hardware, or higher, or
else the buildkey will change. Perhaps something similar is occuring here -
the buildds are building Qt with certain optimizations, which cause
segfaults on older hardware. Yet there seems to be no easy way to control
this aspect of Qt's build. Anyone able to help?
Cheers,
