I've tried with the debian mingw32 package (3.4.2.20040916) as the
cross-compiler, on qt-win-free-3.3.3-2005-04-08-src.tar.bz2

For some reason I had to add #include <ctype.h> in qfontdatabase_win.cpp
and #include <locale.h> in qapplication_win.cpp in order to compile
(otherwise toupper() and LC_* defines were missing)

make finishes with an error saying that the 'copy' command is missing.
At this point, in the lib/ directory, there's  a libqt.a but no libqt-mt.a and
no libqtmain.a

If I try to rerun configure with the -thread option, it outputs:

~/src/qt-3$ ./configure -no-cups -platform win32-g++ -shared -thread

ERROR: Qt is not configured to support threading on this platform
       See the THREAD settings
in /home/daniel/src/qt-3/mkspecs/win32-g++/qmake.conf

I don't see anything suspicious in qmake.conf. Any idea?
