[webkit-dev] Strang problem with the linux port.

[Mike Emmel]

I switched to gcc3.4  checking for compiler bugs and here is the error I got

dom/NodeImpl.h:525:8: warning: extra tokens at end of #endif directive
../build/include/JavaScriptCore/HashMapPtrSpec.h: In member function
`Q* KXMLCore::HashMap<P*, Q*, KXMLCore::PtrHash<P*>,
KXMLCore::HashTraits<P*>, KXMLCore::HashTraits<Q*> >::get(P* const&)
const [with P = WebCore::AtomicStringImpl, Q =
KXMLCore::PassRefPtr<WebCore::HTMLElementImpl> ()(const
WebCore::AtomicString&, WebCore::DocumentImpl*,
WebCore::HTMLFormElementImpl*, bool)]':
khtml/html/htmlfactory.cpp:425:   instantiated from here
../build/include/JavaScriptCore/HashMapPtrSpec.h:207: error: ISO C++
