Ehm. No.  Qt fucked up. period.  Qt 1.40 was "accidentally" released with
older Makefiles which broke on fbsd (aout and elf).  Qt 1.41 was recently
released, and _still_ uses an aout specific method for building shared
libs (it depends on /usr/lib/c++rt0.o).  I was kindly told that FreeBSD
compatibility was not important when I reported this to them ages ago.

AFAIK the Qt 1.4x port hasn't been updated. FWIW, I've built Qt ELF
many times over (gotta love egcs).
