It does not properly emit static members. In particular, it means you can't 
run things like the designer and assistant from Qt4 if built with that 
compiler and hidden visibility. (Which Qt4 now disables on those)

RHEL4 might get a fix for this soon, though; I know there is a BR on that in 
the gcc repo, too, but I don't remember the number.

There are also known fundamental issues with the fact that Qt itself doesn't 
have proper export macros. It is not clear as to what /actual/ problems it 
causes, however; the one known instance has been addressed in our code..
Please see KDE bug #101542
