[kde-solaris] Compiling QT 3.1???

[Bart Whiteley]

I'm curious why these two changes are needed.  I configure
with 
      -system-zlib \
      -qt-gif \
      -plugin-imgfmt-png \
      -system-libpng \
      -plugin-imgfmt-jpeg \
      -system-libjpeg \
      -plugin-imgfmt-mng \
      -system-libmng \
      -thread \
      -no-g++-exceptions \
      -platform solaris-g++ 

I'm on sparc/Solaris8 with gcc-3.2.1.  gnu tools are used all around. 
It builds without a hitch, and I'm running kde3.1 final. 

I'm asking because I do get the occasional crash.  Would it be 
more stable if I made the changes you describe?
