ok, false alarm.  The configure scripts ripped from kde attempt to use ksh and
then bash if ksh is not found.  I removed ksh while the build was going and was
left with source that could not even make clean because of the explicit
SHELL=/bin/ksh.  But if you do not have ksh installed there is no problem.

It would be nice if kde was not letting feelings get in the way and only use
/bin/sh like a good portable developer, but oh well.
