Strange. It looks like you should README.Linux in the PyQt sources.
It is strange, because it should not be needed with newer versions
of PyQt (not needed for PyQt-3.13 on Mandrake-10.0)

I solved such problems for PyQt-3.8 on Mandrake by doing

# Instead of README.Linux
cp /usr/lib/qt3/include/qconfig.h qt
chmod 644 qt/qconfig.h
cat >> qt/qconfig.h << EOF
#define QT_NO_STYLE_CDE
#define QT_NO_STYLE_INTERLACE
#define QT_NO_STYLE_MOTIF
#define QT_NO_STYLE_MOTIFPLUS
#define QT_NO_STYLE_PLATINUM
#define QT_NO_STYLE_SGI
EOF

before running make.
