OK, my cpu is an athlon and this could have caused problems, and there 
is a gcc version conflict too. However the gtk builds seem to work fine 
on different platforms, so presumably this incompatibility is because Qt 
uses C++???
Tried Nikhil Goel's build, but it says it needs GLIBC 2.3 or higher, so 
that's not going to work either ...
Even if we need both a gcc 3.2 version and a gcc 2.9x version, is there 
a way we can ensure we don't need any more, and make minimal builds for 
each of these cases that will work on a wide variety of systems?
