Looking at the traces, it seems like you are missing a lot of standard
headers like:

> /Users/Paul/WebKit/JavaScriptCore/JavaScriptCorePrefix.h:7:19: error: ctype.h: No such file or directory
> /Users/Paul/WebKit/JavaScriptCore/JavaScriptCorePrefix.h:9:20: error: locale.h: No such file or directory
> /Users/Paul/WebKit/JavaScriptCore/JavaScriptCorePrefix.h:10:18: error: math.h: No such file or directory
> /Users/Paul/WebKit/JavaScriptCore/JavaScriptCorePrefix.h:11:19: error: stdio.h: No such file or directory
> /Users/Paul/WebKit/JavaScriptCore/JavaScriptCorePrefix.h:12:20: error: stdlib.h: No such file or directory
> /Users/Paul/WebKit/JavaScriptCore/JavaScriptCorePrefix.h:13:20: error: string.h: No such file or directory
> /Users/Paul/WebKit/JavaScriptCore/JavaScriptCorePrefix.h:14:21: error: strings.h: No such file or directory
> /Users/Paul/WebKit/JavaScriptCore/JavaScriptCorePrefix.h:15:18: error: time.h: No such file or directory

or tools like "ranlib".

I have never met those errors but they point to something wrong in
your XCode installation or environment (PATH, ...). After following
closely the instructions on http://webkit.org, you should be able to
compile so it is worth checking the different steps again.
If you are able to build any other project outside WebKit, it is worth
updating to the latest version and see if it helps.
