Hack the kdevelop.kdevprj and change:
  bin_program=kdevelop
to
  bin_program=.libs/kdevelop

The location of the binary isn't configurable currently. :-( Must be
fixed in KDevelop2...
BTW: Debugging kdevelop with kdevelop requires a lot of RAM. I didn't
get it work with 64MB but with ddd it worked here. KDE2 takes a lot of
memory as well. You can also save RAM if you debug on fvwm2.

P.S.: And don't forget to ./configure with --enable-debug !
