Sigh.
SQLite 2 and 3, not vanilla but forked, so we'll have to live with it. If you care about it, work with upstream on probably (didn't check) the same issues with KOffice 2. This applies for the other included libraries as well. At least I for one am not keen patching these issues regarding KOffice 1.x, given that upstream gives shit about its maintenance already. Guess it's sensible to keep these bugs open and revisit wrt. KOffice 2.
Removed from Portage. Kexi will be introduced back in KOffice 2.2.0, IIRC Let's see if they have improved then. ;-)
