Nope, only in kdebug.cpp in kdecore..

So don't.  The way I got kdebug to "work" is this.

In kdebug.h two functions are declared

extern "C" {
void kdebug( unsigned short level, unsigned short area, const char* fmt, ... );
void kdebug_null (unsigned short level, unsigned short area, const char* fmt, ...);
};

and later:

#ifdef kdebug
#undef kdebug
#endif
#ifdef NDEBUG
#define kdebug kdebug_null
#endif

This way, if you define NDEBUG, kdebug_null will be called.  I can't
imagine how kdecore would link if it was compiled with NDEBUG defined...

I just commited to the HEAD branch a few possible fixes.  If this doesn't
work, please let me know.
