Problems compiling KDE programs with GCC 3.3+


With GCC 3.3 most qt and KDE programs fail - and those worked fine
with GCC 3.2 and older.


Dirk Müller came up with this example program:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
class QChar {
public:
    QChar( char c );
    QChar( unsigned char c );
};

class QString
{
public:
    QString( const char *str );                 // deep copy

    QString    &insert( unsigned int index, const QString & );
    QString    &insert( unsigned int index, QChar );
    QString    &prepend( const char* );
};

inline QString &QString::prepend( const char* s )
{ return insert(0,s); }
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Compiling with different compilers shows that GCC 3.3 and newer give
different results than the older compiler:

gromit:~/tmp:[1]$ /opt/gcc/3.2-devel/bin/gcc -c kde.cc -Wall
gromit:~/tmp:[0]$ /opt/gcc/3.3-devel/bin/gcc -c kde.cc -Wall
kde.cc: In member function `QString& QString::prepend(const char*)':
kde.cc:18: error: call of overloaded `insert(int, const char*&)' is ambiguous
kde.cc:12: error: candidates are: QString& QString::insert(unsigned int, const 
   QString&)
kde.cc:13: error:                 QString& QString::insert(unsigned int, QChar)
gromit:~/tmp:[1]$ /opt/gcc/3.4-devel/bin/gcc -c kde.cc -Wall
kde.cc: In member function `QString& QString::prepend(const char*)':
kde.cc:18: error: call of overloaded `insert(int, const char*&)' is ambiguous
kde.cc:12: error: candidates are: QString& QString::insert(unsigned int, const 
   QString&)
kde.cc:13: error:                 QString& QString::insert(unsigned int, QChar)

My question now is whether this is a bug in GCC 3.3 (in that case I'll
file a bug report) - or whether QT is broken,
