The whole thing builds now with -t Qt_3_3_6.

And I identified the source of the Qt version in the sip command: Salomé
gets it from QT_VERSION_STR in qglobal.h .  Debian's Qt has 3.3.8b.

So naturally, I tried -t Qt_3_3_8 but that failed in the same way as
before.

This begs the question: given that Qt 3.3.8 was released on February 14,
2007, and SIP 4.7.4 was released on February 12, 2008, why does SIP not
support a Qt version released nearly a year earlier?
