[webkit-dev] Build slave for JSCOnly Linux MIPS [WARNING - NOT VIRUS SCANNED]

[Osztrogonác Csaba]

Hi,

now the #error macro in Compiler.h is the only one blocker to
be able to build JSCOnly port with GCC 4.8 (without FTL JIT):
http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/Source/WTF/wtf/Compiler.h#L73

The existance of a buildbot doesn't mean any obligation for anybody.
We have many bots which are allowed to break. Everybody is allowed
to break the Apple Mac cmake build, WebKit2 owners can break EFL/GTK
builds, JSC developers can break ARM Linux builds.

br,
Ossy
