[PyQt] QtHelp module doesn't build

[Andrea Scarpino]

Hi all,
just to let you know that, using the qt 4.8, the QtHelp module in pyqt
doesn't build anymore because of this error:

Checking to see if the QtHelp module should be built...
g++ -DQT_NO_DEBUG -I. -I/usr/mkspecs/linux-g++ -I/usr/include/QtHelp
-I/usr/include -m64 -pipe -O2 -w -D_REENTRANT cfgtest_QtHelp.cpp -o
cfgtest_QtHelp -L/usr/lib -m64
-Wl,-O1,--sort-common,--as-needed,-z,relro,--hash-style=gnu -Wl,-O1
-lQtHelp -lpthread
/usr/bin/ld: /tmp/ccgQLxOv.o: undefined reference to symbol
'QString::fromAscii_helper(char const*, int)'
/usr/bin/ld: note: 'QString::fromAscii_helper(char const*, int)' is
defined in DSO /usr/lib/libQtCore.so.4 so try adding it to the linker
command line
/usr/lib/libQtCore.so.4: could not read symbols: Invalid operation
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I had to patch the configure script with this line so the qthelp
module loads the qtcore libraries when building.
