Thanks for looking at this. I suspect that actually it's not a problem
with the cmake version (it compiles with cmake 2.4.7 in Ubuntu and
some upstream developers use cmake 2.4.x) but rather how cmake is
interacting with Qt. Do you happen to know if other cmake-using
packages have had similar failures? I'll try to track it down a bit
more but as I don't have an hppa machine and it builds fine on other
archs it might take a bit.
