Those are not different architechtures: they all sport ARM processors. Thus there is no recompilation needed. It would be different between Atom-based MeeGo device and an ARM-based one: there you'd need recompilation. I don't think that will be a large issue though as most portable devices where MeeGo is aimed for are ARM and will continue to be ARM.

And the OP was incorrect: native Qt apps are C++, not C.

If they needed to be recompiled, they could only work on one phone only.
Incorrect. Look above answer.
