That's something I overlooked, but since I compile it directly on the
Gumstix instead of on a development machine, I think it would be ok, right?

I have taken a look at your patches, and found it interesting. But currently
I am in the process of rebuilding the Qt library and force it to get the X11
libraries and headers (changing a bit in mkspecs), and see how it goes. I do
believe my problem stems from gcc/g++ is linked to the compiler in Gumstix,
which is linux-arm-angstrom-gnuebi-gcc/g++ (sp?), which in turn (I think)
made Qt to look to qws/linux-arm-g++ mkspec, instead of the normal
linux-g++. I might be mistaken though, since that is 2 weeks ago, and the
other problems kinda sweeped that particular memory away from my brain. 

Many thanks again for the help.
