I too had similar problems, I believe my problems were because I updated gcc from 3.3 -> 3.4 without rebuilding everything necessary. After running emerge -e system emerge -e world I could emerge kxmleditor just fine.
Yep, smells like a screwed up toolchain (update). http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gcc-upgrading.xml should be helpful.
