That is correct.

Only fools would flame you :-) Problem is that without debug-info and without 
usable trace it is really hard to find the problem, but let's try:

There is something that you can do without having debug info. You can run 
"strace -t kbuildsycoca > kbuildsycoca.strace" and send me that file IN 
PRIVATE MAIL. 

Otherwise, can you try to recompile parts of KDE with debug info? Good 
candidates would be kdelibs/kio/kio and kdelibs/kdecore. To do so you should 
edit the "Makefile" in that directory and replace -O2 (or -O3 or whatever 
number you have) with "-g". Then do a "make install" in kdelibs/kdecore and 
kdelibs/kio (not just in kdelibs/kio/kio!)

The warnings about KoDataTool are harmless btw.

Cheers,
Waldo
