Here's the error:

c++ -c -pipe -fPIC -O -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=athlon -Wall -W -DQT_NO_DEBUG -DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT -I. -I/usr/opt/include -I/usr/opt/include/python2.4 -I/usr/X11R6/include -o sipqtQString.o sipqtQString.cpp
sip/qt/qstring.sip: In function `int convertTo_QString(PyObject*, void**, int*)':
sip/qt/qstring.sip:854: error: conversion from `long unsigned int' to `const QChar' is ambiguous
/usr/X11R6/include/qstring.h:295: note: candidates are: QChar::QChar(int)

/usr/X11R6/include/qstring.h:252: note:                 QChar::QChar(char)

The code is trying to turn a Python unicode string into a QString with
for loop, doing
	qstring[i] = py_unicode_string[i] ;

This is with qt 3.3.3, sip 4.1.1, and py-qt 3.13.
