That is already unchecked. Unchecking is the same as disabling, yes?

Yes. I probably won't be able to provide the image until tomorrow morning.

In the meantime, I downloaded the digiKam source code from 
https://anongit.kde.org/digikam-software-compilation.git

and modified core/libs/dimg/filters/icc/icctransform.cpp line 58 from

transformFlags = 0;

to

transformFlags = cmsFLAGS_NOOPTIMIZE;

I'm following the compile instructions here: 
https://www.digikam.org/download/git/

Should those instructions say to uninstall digiKam from whatever 
repository it might already be installed from, such as Gentoo Portage in 
my case? Anyway, I just uninstalled digiKam from Gentoo Portage and 
digiKam from git is building.

Hmm, sadly the build errored out at 95%, with this message:

I never use showfoto - can digiKam be build without showfoto? If yes, 
what do I modify to make this happen? If no, any idea why the build 
stopped at building showfoto? I'd like to build digiKam with the right 
lcms flags to disable all partial and full lcms "optimizations".

Best,
