WebCore.order controls the symbol layout within the WebCore binary,  
and is only used with the Production configuration.  It's completely  
unrelated to the error you're seeing: references in WebCore.order to  
symbols that no longer exist are silently ignored.  The process for  
updating it is non-trivial and time-consuming, and is typically done  
by someone at Apple every few months.
