I built Qt-4.3.3 with:

.//configure -qt-gif -no-exceptions -debug -fast -prefix 
/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4 -no-cups -no-xinerama -no-tablet -qdbus -pch 
-nomake examples -nomake demos

{all one line}

and had no problems.

OTOH, I see no mention of your installing KDESupport or QCA before you 
tried to build KDELibs.
