For me it also seems to break on arts/flow/bus.cc (or rather bus.o), because 
the prelinker segfaults there, leaving me without .o file, only .o.new. 
Strange thing is that I got some 6 segfaults in kdelibs, but only this one 
caused me headaches.

Apart from that, I'm now compiling kdebase, so I don't know the results yet, 
but based on other's reactions this should definitely go in.
