Thank you very much for your support!
I tried to investigate the problem and I think, the issue is related to
my toolchain, because from LFS live-cd Qt4 compiles ok with the flags
that I mentioned.

I will rebuild my system. I also want to find the exact problem app
 in the toolchain. I think of GCC 4.2.2 now.

Could you please write your version of GCC? And one more question, did
you use "-fvisibility=hidden" flag when you compiled Qt?

And as to KDESupport and QCA, yes, I skipped that steps, but I don't
think it make any difference, because kdelibs didn't reach the point to
check this when cmake configured it. I think, it checks compiler,
sets some flags for it and fails checking Qt.
