there are (apart from the reason Thorsten gave) some more issues:

* c++ exception handling and rtti is implemented in pgcc/egcs/gcc-2.8,
  which makes libraries incompatible with new code. you better compile
  your own qt lib (which works, I've done it ;)
* most kde code (at least when I checked last) is not proper c++,
  but in the g++-2.7.2 dialect. The only answer I got from the
  kde people when I sent a patch was "fix your broken compiler
  and don't bother us again", so I don't care the slighest bit for kde
  anymore.
* I heard the kde people got sane lately and tried to fix their code,
  but I never tried myself.
