I have been trying to compile kdebindings-3.5.5 since the last two
days. It configures fine and when I run make I can see the normal
messages as "make" progresses. At one point it looks like it is stuck
but, doing a process listing shows something else.
It is trying to compile the file
/kdebindings-3.5.5/python/pyqt/qt/sipqtpart0.cpp. A "wc -l" on this
file returned 454706 !! Size ? 9.6MB !! It seems to be generated on
the fly as the folder 'qt' itself doesn't exist in the source tree.
Seems like it is trying to process it thru' "cc1plus" and feeding it
to "as".
Crazy! I googled a bit on sipqtpart0.cpp and found some interesting
links. Apparently, this file is created by concatenating all the C++
source files into a single file and then trying to process. This takes
a _long_ time on gcc-4, but used to be short on gcc-3.

There's a patch at the end there. You could backport that to
gcc-4.0.3, but the other thing you can do is make the build system for
kdebindings not concatenate the files and process them one at a time.
That's mentioned here:

I did not test this, but try out the following sed. Basically, you
need to remove the -c from the configure.py command for pyqt and
change the -c to -i for the configure.py command for pykde (if I'm
reading the options correctly).
sed -i.bak \
-e '/configure.*pyqt/s/-c//' \
-e '/configure.*pykde/s/-c/-i/' \
python/Makefile.in
Let me know if that helped and maybe we can get something in the book.
