Whenever you see "C compiler cannot create executable" in autoconf/automake
and libtool-based projects, you should first take a look at "configure.log"
to find the exact file/parameters that are being given to the compiler.
It may be any number of things from invalid parameters, to something as
basic as having no r/x permissions in include or lib directories in the
compiler search paths.

Having said that, Qt being C++-based, and there are changes in ABI between
versions 2.95.x, 3.0.x, 3.1.x, and 3.2.x, expect troubles during linking
if you use different compiler than the one which was used to compile Qt.

Cheers,
