[webkit-qt] QtWebkit JavaScript interpreter crash ( v.153112/ppc64le).

[Allan Sandfeld Jensen]

I just checked Platform.h and the usual suspects, it seems PPC64LE should be 
detected correctly and handled. Which means it should use the Cloop LLINT 
implementation for JavaScript. You could double-check if little-endian is 
correctly detected in Platform.h though. As for the page alignment, I would 
have assumed they would match ppc64 and should already work. So it could be a 
mismatch between what I tested on Debian-ppc64 and what you are using.
