I had this same issue with the kde 3.4 release; re-emerging qt resolved it.

The true source of the problem is that at the same time 3.4 came out a new
update to glibc came out; in rebuilding glibc, a new pthread library (ala
nptl) was built that had an API change that libqt-mt is no longer compatible
with.

Re-emerging qt resolves the linking failures in qt/kde builds.

Arts is the kde sound daemon.  Based on your output of "emerge -pvtuD
world", something (the ebuild) is overriding your "-arts" flag.  It's
probably being overridden by the libao ebuild, but why it thinks arts is a
dependency I can't answer.
