THis is a trivial thing, but I thought I would mention the QA notices seen when compiling k3b:

 * QA Notice: Package triggers severe warnings which indicate that it
 *            may exhibit random runtime failures.
 * /var/tmp/portage/app-cdr/k3b-2.0.2-r4/work/k3b-2.0.2/libk3b/tools/k3biso9660.cpp:105:136: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules [-Wstrict-aliasing]
 * /var/tmp/portage/app-cdr/k3b-2.0.2-r4/work/k3b-2.0.2/libk3b/tools/k3biso9660.cpp:570:77: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules [-Wstrict-aliasing]
 * /var/tmp/portage/app-cdr/k3b-2.0.2-r4/work/k3b-2.0.2/libk3b/tools/k3biso9660.cpp:571:77: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules [-Wstrict-aliasing]

These are minor to trivial, but I have had such things bight me in the past, and thought I would put in a ticket to have them fixed.

Thanks for reporting. But portage told you where it have to be reported.
