Yes (at least, I think... ;-)

I built on a x86 box a full cross-toolchain für x86/uClibc. I even compiled
the analogclock example from Qt and run it and it worked flawless.

From the Qt-configure output on this test:

	[...]
	Building on:   linux-g++
	Building for:  qws/linux-x86-g++
	Architecture:  i386
	Host architecture: i386
	[...]

So it looks like that Qt-configure is getting this fully right. I also 
read the configure-script from Qt and found no reason for this x86x86fix.
But I didn't checked older Qt version.

No problem.
