As far as I understood Brad King from Kitware, this should only happen
if you mix cmake versions, i.e. build kdelibs with cmake cvs and then
try to build other kde modules with cmake 2.4.

So if this is with distro supplied packages, its a distro bug. I
retested this morning and when I make sure I build everything with cmake
cvs _or_ cmake 2.4 the only errors I get are about -lsolid and other
where the corresponding -L<dir> option is missing due to a bug in kde's
buildsystem.
