I have GCC-4.2.2.  My CFLAGS are:

	-march=athlon -mtune=athlon -O2 -m128bit-long-double

and CXXFLAGS is the same.  These would be different if you have a 
different processor.  I didn't have to add any additional flags.  Note 
however, that you do need to set QTDIR for Qt4 and have the "moc" in Qt4 
reachable by your PATH.

You should do that first.  But, the reason I asked was that I wanted to 
know if you had problems compiling these also.
