Ok, this happens to be a Gentoo related issue. I had the wifi flag on 
(wireless support), switching it off specifically for kdenetwork allowed it 
to compile.

I will post this to the Gentoo package mantainers.

Wireless is of importance to me since I have KDE installed on a laptop and I 
use 802.11 to connect to my ADSL modem.
