Unfortunately there is a bug after r47266 which breaks ARM JIT.

So I recommend you to download the code with svn or git. See at
http://webkit.org/building/checkout.html or
http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/UsingGitWithWebKit

I guess your target port is Gtk. We have only extended Qt port to
support ARM JIT yet. I don't think it will be a hard task to extend Gtk
with ARM JIT as well.

Until there is ARM JIT support for Gtk port, you can add 'arm' host
into configure.ac by hand (see around configure.ac:530).
