Oh, I didn't realise.

What do I have to do to run it?

Wouldn't a configure cache work in this case? I haven't actually tried
one myself
(due to all the warnings), however within a KDE merge it should always
be the same.

Do you mind sharing the list of kde packates that you DO use?

I'm using that profile. I'll try to remember to check the profile as
well as make.conf,
I'd didn't realise I would have to minus some USE flags, rather than
just omit them.

I added -ldap to my make.conf and did a full rebuild --newuse, which took most
of the day. Now, despite eix showing -ldap on kde-base/dedbase, 'equery depends'
still shows the same list (less the older version of gnupg) as above.
depclean did remove 2 more packages, but not openldap.

openssh (e.g.) also shows -ldap in eix, but still a dependent of
openldap in equery depends.

It looks to me like 'equery depends' is broken.

app-crypt/gnupg is an example of something that still has the ldap USE
flag enabled,
I've noticed some packages just blatantly ignore make.conf, and always
have certain USE enabled, which I don't understand.

After learning more about "provide_old_libs" from the bug,
and /var/log/portage/elog, I just deleted all of broken .so files, as
they were supposed to have been. revdep-rebuild is now clean.
