I have updated the bug report with all information and patches that I have.
There are still major packages that do not build and that I cannot fix. I have
summarized the packages and errors in the bug report.

Tim, take a look and see if you want to elevate this bug to BLOCKER. As it sits,
until we solve the issues, gcc47 distros will have no tdepim, k3b, or kipi-plugins.

Additionally, the following require '-fpermissive' to build with gcc47:

  tdegraphics
  krusader
  amarok
  kaffeine
  tdeadmin
  tdegames
  tdeedu
  python-tqt

Digikam could not be tested against gcc47 due to still requiring libpng15 fix.
See: http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=949

However, the list of packages that build against gcc47 far outweighs those that
don't. For current list for those packages building on arch, see:
