Are you sure you are linking against your recent build?  JavaScriptCore is a core component of Mac OS, so you might be inadvertently linking against the system version.  I've made this mistake before, and even trashed my OS by clobbering the system JavaScriptCore with my build in an effort to force things to link properly!  :-)

I'm not sure which OS you are running on (or which version of Safari is installed).  The header indicates this feature should be present as of Safari 4.0, so it seems likely that even the system WebKit would have it, but it's worth double-checking.

Aside from that, I would expect the feature to be present.  I'll see if I can try this out myself and suggest anything else.
