 The GCC is a vanilla 3.3.6 on Slackware 10.2 so I'm not sure what 
happened.
 I know in the past I have been building KDE from src since about 
version 3.0.something and the only problems I ever had was the Python 
build not being able to figure out where KDE is installed which stopped 
happening with KDE 3.5.4 but then this new issue cropped up with 3.5.5.
 I modified the source as stated above and that seems to be fixing the 
problem. Maybe something got touched in the sip code between the 2 
versions. It cropped up not only on the stock slackware python 2.4.1 
and the vanilla from source python 2.5.
 If you need version info from anything let me know and I try to get it 
for you.

Output from g++ -v
g++ -v
