I didn't realize that /usr/bin/startkde was a bash script.  Line 174 is the 
line displayed in the error message "LD_BIND_NOW=true kdeinit +kcminit".

I also notice that the log I captured from my rpm -Uvh *.rpm has the 
following error

##################################################/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.93383: 
line 2:  1892 Illegal instruction     (core dumped) kbuildsycoca >&/dev/null

I ran
$ rpm -qf /usr/bin/kbuildsycoca
kdelibs-2.2-5.2

So I tried reinstalling the kdelibs RPM.  No luck.  

KDE help says 

KBuildsycoca
KBuildsycoca is a command line program and regenerates the so-called KSycoca. 
This is for example useful if some or all modules in KControl are missing.
See also: KSyCoCa

KSyCoCa
KSyCoCa (KDE Sy tem Co nfiguration Ca che) is a configuration cache which 
guarantees for example fast access to the menu entries.

That doesn't really tell me much, unless the reinstall of kdelibs skipped 
running the kbuildsycoca because it was created with the initial (failed) 
install and the system configuration cache is corrupt.
