You may have to recompile some libs. But I don't know for sure which. KDE 
itself will work without recompiling. But I had a problem when I tried to 
compile libSDL with artsd support, and SDL didn't want to link against 
libartsd. The problem only persists with some libraries, I think.
A description of the problem I posted some days before:

After some investigation I found the problem that occurs with the following 
versions:

gcc 2.95.3
glibc 2.2.3

Due to a bug in the compiler/linker/I don't know the linker sometimes doesn't 
link against libc.so.6 which is a text file with the content "GROUP 
(/lib/libc-2.2.3.so /lib/libc_unshared.a)", but directly to 
/lib/libc-2.2.3.so. But only in the nonshared file there is a function 
'atexit' (also fstat, etc.). So sometimes if you link a program to a library 
linked incorrectly the "Undefined reference to 'atexit'" occurs.
