That won't tell me much more than previously, when I could build it,
but all of my KDE applications were crashing. ;)

I can at least try and rebuild the offending KDE4 package if you tell
me which one it is.  I am currently running off of having installed
qt, kdesupport, strigi, soprano, blitz, kdelibs, kdepimlibs and
kdebase.  For now I have two problems - the first is that it seems
unable to locate my GetText installation (might this have to do with
the fact that it's called libgettextlib on Mac and called libgettext
on other platforms?  I'm not sure of its actual name elsewhere, but it
seems reasonable that something Mac-related would mess with that).
After that, I get a perfect building process for it all, but come up
with this during the linking stage:
[100%] Building CXX object CMakeFiles/bibletime.dir/src/main.o
Linking CXX executable bibletime.app/Contents/MacOS/bibletime
/usr/bin/ld: can't locate file for: -lQtCore
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [bibletime.app/Contents/MacOS/bibletime] Error 1
make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/bibletime.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2
makeobj[0]: Leaving directory `/Users/kde-devel/kde.build/bibletime-svn.build'

Because Mac is weird like that, the three arguments -lQtCore -lQtGui
-lQtXml are superfluous.  Pulling those out of the build.make file has
the program linking beautifully and running with the instant-crash as
you've indicated.  This is the backtrace, to ensure that we're talking
about the same crash:
[KCrash handler]

If you indicate whether the offending update to SVN is in kdelibs or
kdebase or what have you, I can freshen my SVN build of that and see
if I can make better progress.

Good-looking work here!  If we can't get this working due to this bug,
at least it looks promising that things will run smoothly and happily
after RC2 (or final, whichever comes next).  Now - off to bug the KDE4
people about the problem I just posted to here and sword-devel.
