As it turned out this was not a problem with either the Qt installations nor with gcc-4. It was merely a minor problem with the configuration of my Xserver (WinX). I didn't notice this at first because the test apps that I had built with Qt4 were not outputting any errors where the same apps built with Qt3 immediately showed a "can't connect to the server" flavour error. I have managed to sort this, so no further problems to report in this regard, thankfully. On the question of how my gcc-4.4.3 installation is configured - having not disabled sjlj execeptions - I had omitted this believing that the latest versions of gcc could discover from the environment whether dw2 exceptions were available and would only use sjlj where this was found not to be the case. I'm now not sure what the detailed implications of this are for linking against cygwin distro libs, but I can say that I haven't actually encountered any problems yet. I will, however, reconfigure and rebuild, all the same. Thank you for your input and help.
