Thanks.  Not too surprising for a major binary-distro dev, I guess.

Meanwhile, I'm more appreciative than ever of gentoo's abilities.  Where 
else would I be able to run a fully distro-supported kde, without all the 
kde semantic-desktop stuff dragging stuff down?  Turning it off at 
runtime didn't cut it, but killing it at build-time surely did! =:^)

That's an option people running most distros won't ever have; a contrast 
they'll never be able to make, at least not without a whole lot more 
manual fiddling than necessary on gentoo, anyway.

Makes me really appreciate what we have, here on gentoo.
