That's right, kdelibs needs to be compiled with -frtti, but the rest
not.

That's news to me. Anyway, configure already checks if the compiler
supports -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti, so it should be pretty easy to add
it as default flags _if_ the compiler supports it.

Anyway, rtti information is not the important thing. It doesn't reduce
binary size much, it only reduces run time memory size a bit. The more
important one is -fno-exceptions, which saves quite a buck.
