some versions of gcc don't support the -pthread argument (egcs doesn't i
believe, unless your particular distribution adds it)...

also... i will again voice my opinion that i don't think KDE should be
linked with libqt-mt... if your program isn't a multi threaded program, it
shouldn't be compiled and linked that way... but again that's my opinion
and i can't stop people from following the latest fad
