[webkit-dev] Reducing the size of libQtWebKit.so

I only compiled the GTK, not the Qt version for ARM, but got it down to
around 9,9MB.
Did you try removing all symbols by either setting -g0 as a compile
option or using the "strip" command line tool?
You might also try setting -Os (optimize for size) as a compile option
by prefixing CXXFLAGS=-Os to calling ./configure.
If all else fails you might also disable some WebKit features to further
reduce size.

HTH & regards,
