I didn't emerge anything before this happened.

Use flags for kdelibs are as follows:

-3dnow
+acl
+alsa
-bindist
+bzip
-debug
-doc
-fam
+handbook
-jpeg2k
-kerberos
-lzma
+mmx
+nls
-openexr
+opengl
+policykit
-semantic-desktop
-spell
+sse
+sse2
+ssl
-test
+udev
+udisks
+upower
-zeroconf

This is the output from "cating" mtab:

rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0
proc /proc proc rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime 0 0
udev /dev tmpfs rw,nosuid,relatime,size=10240k,mode=755 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,relatime,mode=600 0 0
/dev/sda3 / ext3 rw,noatime,commit=0 0 0
rc-svcdir /lib64/rc/init.d tmpfs
rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,size=1024k,mode=755 0 0
fusectl /sys/fs/fuse/connections fusectl rw,relatime 0 0
shm /dev/shm tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime 0 0
/dev/sda1 /boot ext2 rw 0 0
/dev/sda4 /home ext3 rw,noatime,commit=0 0 0
