running kde on wine may help cross debugging after cross compile if gdb 
would be usable.

Would it be possible to get the kdewin-installer.log from the download 
dir of the related install session.
If you need to retry this session you may delete the global installer

root related settings file from <install-root>/etc/installer.ini before 
running the installer.
