Quoting you out of order.

Never apologise for asking for help here on this list. That's the reason this 
list exists :)

Compile problems in the stable branch are not common, and should be reported, 
especially if you had successfully compiled it in the recent past. Before 
kdeutils you should only compile kdelibs and arts. (kdebase if you want).

It is normal. The first time I compiled KDE unstable it took me a month to 
have a complete installation. Sometimes compile bugs stay for weeks, and 
sometimes I have to set up the DO_NOT_COMPILE env variable to skip some apps 
that refuse to compile. arts and kdelibs are usually easier to compile.

The solution for that: wait a little and try again. The toubleshooting section 
in the building guide has more info.
