And I'd also say that testing gcc 4.7.0 on a more "supported" platform like 
Linux would be recommended. (supported by GCC developers)

When I tried to build Qt with gcc 4.6.0 on Windows (mingw), I had to apply 
patches to make it work.

Also, there's another variable you may have failed to consider: this 
QDebugStream class. I was baffled for a moment trying to understand how your 
code might work, until I reread and noticed "that I downloaded from the list 
archive". That class may be buggy and relying on undocumented behaviour of 
either Qt or iostream. Before you cry wolf on either Qt or GCC, please ensure 
that the code there is correct.
