This is more or less clear to me. My point is, that kde3uic.cmake
should be fixed and pass -L `kde-config
--prefix`/lib/kde3/plugins/designer as parameter to uic which it
currently does not.

The files are there. The problem seems to be, that when I run uic
under my normal user account it seems to look for the *.so files in
/usr/lib/kde3/plugins/designer by default, but if I run uic in the
chroot I explicitely have to tell uic too look for the plugins in
/usr/lib/kde3/plugins/designer. Dunno why uic behaves differently in
these two environments. Does uic normally read a config file or
something alike?
