Just looking at the sources, the above problems seem to be fixed in
PyQt 3.2rc2. I can't tell for sure, I haven't built PyQt 3.2rc2 yet.

There were other problems in PyQt 3.2rc1 I had forgotten to report:

Qt defines QThread::currentThread() like this
	    static Qt::HANDLE currentThread();
which is defined this way in qnamespace.h:
	#if defined(Q_WS_MAC)
	    typedef void * HANDLE;
	#elif defined(Q_WS_WIN)
	    typedef void *HANDLE;
	#elif defined(Q_WS_X11)
	    typedef unsigned long HANDLE;
	#elif defined(Q_WS_QWS)
	    typedef void * HANDLE;
	#endif

PyQt 3.2rc1 is using "unsigned long" so you'll get compiler errors.
This seems to be fixed in PyQt 3.2rc2 too.

Finally, I don't know about this warning:
cpp-precomp: warning: errors during smart preprocessing, retrying in basic mode

Maybe it's related to the SDK version? Make sure you have the
latest SDK version. I'll write a new report for SIP 3.2rc2 and
PyQt 3.2rc2 as soon I have tested them, and I'll report the SDK
version I am using.
