Wow.  HP managed to break aCC even more.  It once was known as a very
strict and good C++ compiler, but it seems now it got broken:

This is a call to a static member function (KGlobal::instance() to name
it), but aCC is misguided in thinking it want's to access a local variable
"instance" of an unknown class (if you trust the error message), and then
...

... surprisingly is confused, why it doesn't find that local variable.  Of
course no surprise to us, because it indeed doesn't exist.  I would say,
either upgrade/downgrade that compiler until you reach a state where it
works (I know, it once worked, because I compiled kdelibs with aCC a year
ago).  Also make that bug known to the compiler people at HP.


Ciao,
