I've looked through all C++ packages (libsdtc++6 rdepends), and I think I have
a complete list of broken pacakges. They are:
digikam
k3b
kcontrol
kdirstat
kexi
konq-plugins
konqueror
ktorrent
libk3b3
libmyth-0.20.2
mythdvd
mythmusic
mythtv-backend
pdfedit
trustedqsl
virtualbox-ose
trustedqsl may not be related to the others. It does not use Qt or have any
stat64-related symbols, and is the only package with a missing atoi symbol.

With the exception of "atoi" in trustedqsl, these are indeed the only
problematic symbols of that list.
Attached is a list of packages & files with the missing symbols.
