Erm... I'd like to point that Debian provides binaries for sip, PyQt and
PyKDE on all its officially supported arches
(see http://www.debian.org/ports)

I recall having this problem on Alpha. I think I solved it slicing the
code bundle in 4 parts or so. I got it on other arches too and all
worked that way, except mips/mipsel that needs some extra handywork.
As Hans-Peter suggested, it's a problem that appears when you try to
link object code that has too large ¿symbol? tables.
/me searches some examples over buildd's logs

Grmf... I have no access right now to some Debian machines (scheduled
maintenance). Anyway, the only extra think I do on Alpha machines is
adding an extra "-j 4" when running configure.py. I do the same on m68k,
arm, s390 and mips/mipsel.

Cheers,
