On my system I compiled KDE 3.4.1 (split ebuilds) without Arts. When I try to emerge kde-misc/kbrain-0.1.3 it stops with an error while configuring: >>> emerge (1 of 1) kde-misc/kbrain-0.1.3 to / >>> md5 files ;-) kbrain-0.1.3.ebuild >>> md5 files ;-) files/kbrain-0.1.3-gentoo.diff >>> md5 files ;-) files/digest-kbrain-0.1.3 >>> md5 src_uri ;-) kbrain-0.1.3.tar.gz >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking kbrain-0.1.3.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/kbrain-0.1.3/work * Applying kbrain-0.1.3-gentoo.diff ...

I created a patch for this, but it fails to compile here. Anyone else getting compilation failure with GCC 3.4? I can attach the patch and it does work, but I don't have a system with GCC 3.3 on it anymore and upstream looks dead (last release 2002).
