The ld documentation conatins documentation about this issues. You can browse 
it with konqueror on cygwin using the url  "info:ld".  See topics "Machine 
dependent/WIN32" and topic "Invocation/Options". As host explanation is: 


`--enable-runtime-pseudo-reloc'
      If your code contains expressions described in -enable-auto-import
      section, that is, DATA imports from DLL with non-zero offset, this
      switch will create a vector of 'runtime pseudo relocations' which
      can be used by runtime environment to adjust references to such
      data in your client code.  [This option is specific to the i386 PE
      targeted port of the linker]

This is probably not required. Please use the following configure line 

CXXFLAGS="-fdata-sections" CFLAGS="-fdata-sections" 
LDFLAGS="-Wl,--enable-runtime-pseudo-reloc" ./configure --prefix=/opt/kde3 
--with-qt-dir=/opt/qt/3.2 --disable-rpath --disable-closure

If you have more problems, please let me know. 

BTW: Before configuring, you should apply 
http://kde-cygwin.sourceforge.net/snapshots/kde-cygwin-admin-patch-3.1.4.tar.bz2

and run 

export PATH=/usr/autotool/devel/bin:$PATH 
make -f Makefile.cvs 
... configure ... 

This may reduce additional problems. If you don't have a Makefile.cvs in your 
tarball, you can use the appended one. 

Cheers
