Ironic, since lib32-qt4-4.8.7-1 causes a segfault in Skype, and lib32-qt4-4.8.7-2 is the fix for that.

Perhaps we should drop -reduce-relocations from the Qt4 packages (not enabled by default and probably best to keep it disabled due to [1]).

@Nasser: Can you try rebuilding lib32-qt4 without the -reduce-relocations ./configure flag? Double points if you can verify that Skype stills works (in addition to PacketTracer).

@Evangelos I've rebuilt lib32-qt4 without the -reduce-relocations flag. Unfortunately PacketTracer still exits with a Segmentation fault. Skype however does launch. Any other suggestions to try?
