Actually, according to the bug report, that may not fix it for
everyone.  So, there is a chance that may not work.  The thinking was it
was something to do with gcc.  Then someone posted that it wasn't gcc
but something else.  I just don't want to use something that I know has
issues and *could* cause problems I am not aware of.

My easy way to to remove the package.keyword file for KDE 4.10 and just
emerge -uvk world.  I keep binaries just for when this sort of things
happens.  It's been a good long while since this has happenend with a
KDE upgrade but I'm glad I had them.  5 to 10 minutes and I am back to a
working system.  The devs will have this fixed in the next couple days
if it is not fixed upstream already.
