Hope that helps. It would be interesting to investigate the possibility of a cpu-transparency that only functioned outside of a gcc /g++ make.
It's qmake that segfaults. Either not well built or yes, qemu doesn't like soft float point. No clue really. It's probably not worth it anyway (eventhough I would have liked to confirm..).
I tried forcing the build of qmake without these flags with a bash script awfull hack but didn't play well with scratchbox transparency.
I also tried to modify the qmake conf so that qt-tools are built without these but the libs are built with it. I failed understanding all the flags..

For me, the only thing that I'm looking for is a _packaged_ kde. Penguinbait's looks good enough but I simply don't like big archives with no uninstalls. It's like going back 10 years before. I'm a "long time" deb user, that probably explains it, it's not meant bad for people doing archives.
But I'd still be interested to see kde _4_
By the way, there is an amazing thread in 770 subforums where somebody discovered a huge (9000 packages?) armel port repository. It contains qt4.3.3 and kde 3.5.8 packages. When I get back home and play with my n800, I'll try this kde.
