Yes.. it would be, as 2.6's xconfig uses QT.  I'm guessing it's getting
/usr/lib64/ as the lib path, and trying to find the QT libs under
/usr/lib64/qt3/. They are under /usr/lib/qt3/, with the actual binaries
under /usr/lib/qt3/lib64.  Most of the Mdk RPMs I've tried that haven't
been corrected either try to use /usr/lib64/, or /usr/lib/qt3/lib/, not
being able to get BOTH right without adjustment, since they are different.
I'm guessing the kernel makefile is having the same issues.

Here, I solved that with a couple of symlinks, /usr/lib64/qt3/ ->
/usr/lib/qt3/, and /usr/lib/qt3/lib/ -> /usr/lib/qt3/lib64/.  That seems
to take care of that problem, for the most part, altho if one was to want
both 32-bit and 64-bit qt3 installed, it would of course cause issues.
