That would definitely explain it. I have found CMake

the CMake builds are due to code problems or operator error. ;-)

I have been absolutely amazed at how brilliantly TDE is building. After going
through the pain of transferring all the build scripts to use TQt3 and picking
through all the patches.tar.bz2 files to eliminate unneeded patches, TDE is
building great. I can't wait to actually load it on a box and try it :)
The challenge will be finishing the cmake conversion for the applications and
other packages so that all apps, addons, plugins, styles, decorations, etc.. are
building as well. It will just take time, but it is coming along.
It would be great to get to a point where the major transitions (eg: from Qt to
TQt, etc..) is done and troubleshot -- to spend 30 days under a code-freeze and
just work on getting all the applications, addons, etc.. building. Those little
'niceties' are what has always make kde3 stand out as a desktop. It will do the
same for TDE as well.
