[webkit-dev] want to port JIT to MIPS - when WREC/JIT enabled?

[x yz]

Hi,
from paltform.h it is enabled only on X86 MAC/WIN; from javaScriptCore.pri it is also enabled for (QT_ARCH,i386). But, from config.log I see them are enabled!

how can I run WREC/JIT test so I can trace in X86 asm coce generated?
thanks a lot.
joe
