For the kconfig_compiler issue, I used a hacked workaround:

1) cd /usr/bin
2) ln -s kconfig_compiler4 kconfig_compiler
3) ln -s kconfig_compiler4 makekdewidgets

Fortunately, kdelibs4-native has been successfully ported currently, we will
submit the patch sooner, so these problems would be fixed with kdelibs4-native.

Other problems you may meet are:

1) Sometimes the raptor and rasqal_git.bb may fail, just rebuild them
    would fix the error, seems strange errors.

2) After then build successed, we can start the kde:
    $ runqemu qemux86
    edit /usr/bin/startkde there is a host absolute path in it:
    LD_BIND_NOW=true 
/host/path/to/tmp/sysroots/qemux86/usr/lib/kde4/libexec/start_kdeinit_wrapper 
kcminit_startup

    Fix it to:

    LD_BIND_NOW=true /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/start_kdeinit_wrapper +kcminit_startup

    Then

    $ startkde
