There's a problem compiling certain parts of KDE using g++ 3.3 (in my
case, 3.3.2, but reportedly it's a problem with any >= 3.3). It seems
that some Linux kernel headers won't compile with g++ -ansi -pedantic,
which is what the KDE build system uses. The problem appears in
applications which #include <linux/cdrom.h> - at least parts of
kdemultimedia and the CD burning tools in kdeextragear-2 - although the
actual compile error is in asm/byteorder.h. The problem exists in both
2.4 and 2.6 kernel headers.

Can something be done about that? Possibly having a KDE_OPTIONS flag or
something similar in the build system which disables -ansi -pedantic for
a given directory? My own solution of manually removing them from the
Makefiles when I come across the problem is hardly acceptable for the
KDE 3.2 release. :)
