Slackware 14.1 uses 4.8.2 and the last I tried a few weeks ago 
everything built.

I have no idea whether glib main loop makes a difference, but I 
always build TQt3 with -glibmainloop.

The only packages I enable gcc visibility are arts, tdelibs, 
tdebase. If I recall correctly, visibility support never was 
finished on non-core packages.
