[webkit-dev] Disabling the JIT

[Balazs Kelemen]

If you want to set the flags manually, you should write "CXXFLAGS+="...
instead of "CXXFLAGS=".
However, the first method what you tried is right, so if it is crashing
then smg wrong with the JIT.
What platform (Architecture, OS, qt-version) do you use?
