Can you paste into an email to the list at least part of your build 
output, starting before the first compilation error and just a bit 
after? I can only guess that you had a partial download leaving you with 
an incomplete tree. There should be some clue in the page or so before 
the first compilation error.

Yes it did finish successfully, although I have not tried it yet. I 
don't know how long it took. I kept leaving it overnight or while I was 
at work and came back to firewall popups and one time I had a bogus 
failure complaining about a file that was in use (it wasn't). It 
certainly took several hours, possibly double figures but my machine is 
not particularly quick. I also had one failure, in webkit, due to my 
%KDEROOT% being too long.

I would try:-

  emerge --unmerge qt

Then delete %KDEROOT%\download\svn-src\qt and try again. That should 
fetch qt from scratch and give you a completely fresh start.

It appears that in saroengels.net/kde-windows the directory gnuwin32 doesn't exist.  I don't know if this is related to the compilation problem.

That fails for me as well so cannot be related.

BTW the build also failed for me when I had the download directory 
outside of %KDEROOT% as some Makefiles ended up with some incorrect 
relative paths in them instead of absolute paths.
