Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.0)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          GCC 3.4.4 CFLAGS="-march=athlon64 -O2 -fweb -frename-registers -ftracer -pipe"

Problem is that kdeutils requires that python be built with sdl2 but it only dies after trying to compile for about 30 mins.

I solved this issue by building python with sdl2 below is the error and my emerge info.  

This problem is resolved for me bur I wanted to make the KDE devs aware that some people do compile python without sdl2 :) since some people like me dont know what it is for and this dont think that they need it:)
