I've successfully built a few revs of Beta 4 with egcs on redhat 5.0.
In fact, getting everything built from sources was the only way I
could get up and running in KDE without some problem or other because of
incompatibilities in some of the RPMs.
I've gotten my share of the errors you describe from ./configure. But
it's not a problem with the compiler -- the real problem is with the
order that you are compiling and installing the various packages.
Attached is a script that builds beta4 from the sources in the
correct order. I found it on one of the main kde sites.
