Update, they didn't.  Got worse in fact.  I cleaned out the build 
dir for gcc3.2, reran the configure using all the defaults, make'd 
a bootstrap, check and install.  No difference, so I went after 
qt-3.0.5, but gave it a bunch of options since it defaults to a lot 
of them off.  Built it, no errors important enough to abort the 
build.

Now I can't even startx, and in garnome-0.14.1/meta/kde I get this 
for a make:

---------------------------

Reverting back to qt-3.0.4 as /usr/loca/lqt and startx works, 
running it now.

Ideas?
