-std=c++98 was still not enough in my case (gcc 6.3.1). I've fixed the
two issues that appeared then [1] which allowed it to compile.
You still need -std=c++98 and depending on the distribution might have
to change the name of the Qt library. Fedora for instance only ships
the multi-threaded version of Qt3, which can be selected with
 make CXXFLAGS="-std=c++98" QT_LIBRARY="qt-mt"

As for the application, the most prominent feature is probably the very
extensive TT debugging. For glyph rendering I think that the ftinspect
already has the upper hand since it allows setting more rendering
options, zooming etc.
That said, ftinspect could (in the future) use some of the options
available for text rendering like whether to use ligatures or not.
Since the code uses Qt3 and a custom rendering library, I reckon that
not much of it can be salvaged.
