+   "sipqtProxyqt.h", line 113: Error: Multiple declaration for
+   sipProxyqt::proxySlot(int).
+   "qtcmodule.cpp", line 5393: Error: sipProxyqt::proxySlot(int) already had a
+   body defined.
+
+   This occurs because the Sun Workshop C++ 4.2 compiler (and the Sun Forte
+   C++ 6.x compiler with -compat) can not distinguish between 'bool' and 'int'
+   types in overloaded method signatures and issues a compiler error.
+   In this case bool is declared in qt/include/qglobal.h as
+   'typedef int bool;'.  To workaround this '#if 0' out the the declaration
+   and body of 'proxySlot(bool)' in PyQt/qt/sipqtProxyqt.h and
+   PyQt/qt/qtcmodule.cpp.  This resolves the compiler error but breaks
+   any 'sig(bool)' type signals.  To workaround this, save the
+   PyQt/qt/sipqtProxyqt.moc generated after fixing the compiler error and
+   add the following bits of code:
+
+    ...
+    static const QUParameter param_slot_42[] = {
+             { 0, &static_QUType_bool, 0, QUParameter::In }
+    };
+    static const QUMethod slot_42 = {"proxySlot", 1, param_slot_42 };
+    static const QMetaData slot_tbl[] = {
+        ...
+        { "proxySlot(bool)", &slot_42, QMetaData::Public }
+    };
+    metaObj = QMetaObject::new_metaobject(
+             "sipProxyqt", parentObject,
+             slot_tbl, 43,
+        ...
+    case 42: proxySlot(static_QUType_bool.get(_o+1)); break;
+
+   You will need to comment out the line in PyQt/qt/Makefile that re-generates
+   PyQt/qt/sipqtProxyqt.moc with moc to avoid the above changes from being
+   overwritten.
+
+   In order to test that everything has been done correctly, create a 
+   toggle button and connect it's 'toggled(bool)' signal to a python slot,
+   if it works, your done!
