oh, indeed, I remembered it wrong. Now I see, I had locally cherry-picked that 
back in.

Not sure if this relates at all, but on my (virtual) machine, the kdelibs 
build was going extremely slow. I found that if I set "EMERGE_MAKE_PROGRAM" to 
mingw32-make instead of jom, it came back to speed. I wrote it off to some 
obscure multi-core issue in virtualbox, but conceivably it had an entirely 
different cause.

In either way, when the logs don't tell you anything: CD to the build 
directory (assuming it has been created), and run mingw32-make, manually, 
there. (I tried to document some debugging tricks I discovered by trial and 
error, here:

)
