Can you give a bit of information about 
- on what platforms such problems arise
- and what compiler versions are affected? 

I have heard (altough I was unable to reproduce the link) that such problems 
have been solved with more recent GCCs. Which would be a criteria to what 
versions we support. 

qobject_cast is fine for QObject derivates, but we will not get around with 
not using dynamic_cast in any KDE library code.
