Long output in kdm.log mainly a:
kdmgreet (4141)/kdecore (K*TimeZone*) complaining that ktimezoned D-Buss call failed

Not that bad:
-error: ./doc: RElease manual have 9 FIXME....
-error: ./nagios: Nagios count NUMSVCCRIT is not zero but 1 (two lines)
-error: ./webcache: WPAD file 'http://wpad/wpad.dat' is missing HTTP proxy info.
Thus a script is not generating correctly a http proxy variable, and this is
found in two places in the configs. What about nagios?
