Sounds like you're running gcc-2.95.2. The "-fno-rerun-cse-after-loop"
seems to be necessary at least for the c++-sources. To have this globally,
try to add it to your specs-file (/usr/lib/gcc-lib/$platform/$version/specs)
[...]
*cc1plus:
-fno-rerun-cse-after-loop
[...]
This seems to cure at least the Qt/KDE problems, I don't have done tests
with the others yet.
