The 'q' just means it's a Long Mode instruction (ie. x86-64's 64 bit
mode).  The instruction itself is "Load Effective Address" - it means
it does an address calculation as if you were going to load/store
something at that address, but instead puts the address itself (result
of that calculation) in the target register.

If I remember my rusty x86 assembler correctly, then:

  movl 4(%ebx),%eax ; load 4 bytes of data from address %ebx + 4, put in %eax
  lea 4(%ebx),%eax  ; add %ebx + 4 and put that in %eax
