On my side, I managed to build TDE 3.5.12 under RHEL 4 (kernel 2.6.9, 
gcc 3.4 ...) which was out on 2005. This distro was shipped with KDE 3.3 .
There is no compilation problem in TDE itself, but many optional 
features depends on external libraries that are not available (or 
outdated) on older distros.
I managed to build a working kdebase with most optional features 
disabled (mostly audio/video stuff).
