gcc 4.0.1 appears to have problems with large PyQt and PyKDE "single" files. A 
couple of users have reported here that gcc 4.0.3 doesn't have that problem. 

gcc 3.3 seems to fail with really large cpp files - the kdeui module won't 
compile and PyKDE always splits that in 2. All of the other files (incl PyQt) 
work.

The other limitation is the amount of free memory available, as the 
concatenated files use a lot of RAM.
