Just an FYI on getting this resolved...

kdelibs will build against qt-embedded, at least to the point of 
building dcopidl.  The trick is to build qte for the build computer, 
install to some dir (-prefix /usr/local/qte), then build kdelibs against 
that.

Then copy everything from /usr/local/qte/bin to 
/your/qte/xcompile/dir/bin.  Compile qt-embedded for the target.  
Install to some other dir (-prefix /home/arm/qte).  Then move your qte 
libs out of the way (mv /your/qte/xcompile/dir/libs 
/your/qte/xcompile/dir/libs.outoftheway).

Now everything should work....

At least to the point of the next message....  :-)
