As Chris already said, one of the uploads was the likely cause for
breakage in the kdemultimedia compile. kdemultimedia was doing stupid
things, but this is not an excuse. If something stupid works before a
new gcc upload, it should continue to work after it. Otherwise, I
don't see the point of a freeze.
