I also didn't manage to make it work for me also. I managed to get
Safari launching (after a long wait) but when running debug it doesn't
stop on the breakpoints.

I also noticed the same, every git pull start to re-index the entire
project and my old MacBook Pro almost die away after that.

I use the latest Mac App store version.

Additional question : is it possible to actually build WebCore or any
subproject (JSC, ...) from XCode so you could get a fancy ui for
compilation issues (maybe provided you already ran once build-webkit)
?
