[Interest] Issues building Qt 5.4.0 on CentOS 5.

[Simon Matthews]

I am trying to build Qt5 (5.4.0) on CentOS 5, so far without success. I 
would appreciate any advice on getting the build to work.

I found packages for xcb-util, xcb-util-devel, libxcb-devel and xcb-proto 
in the Atrpms repository and installed these.

The configuration stage is successful. My configuration command is:
./configure -v -opensource -qt-libpng -qt-zlib -qt-libjpeg  -nomake 
examples -qt-sql-sqlite -confirm-license -prefix 
/usr/lib/Qt/Qt-5.4.0-x86_64 -widgets -no-openssl -debug-and-release 
-no-opengl

However, the make step fails with:

g++ -c -include .pch/Qt5Test -pipe -O2 -fvisibility=hidden 
-fvisibility-inlines-hidden -std=c++0x -Wall -W -D_REENTRANT -fPIC
