No, I don't. Copyright law does not make any distinction between
static and dynamic linking when it comes to defining derivative works.
However, you clearly cannot distribute statically linked binaries. By
distributing a dynamically linked binary, you are not allowing the
end-user to use any of the Qt library that they have not installed
themselves.
I would hope that GPL-type licenses allow distribution of dynamically
linked executables.

What does that have to do with a Qt-XEmacs ?
The point is whether an xemacs binary linked against Qt (dynamically)
can be (legally) distributed to the end-user, or whether that end-user
needs to compile xemacs from source to be allowed to use Qt.
