I don't know for sure. The build-webkit forces one to name the directory of the
checkout WebKit. I happened to have directories with the name of
WebKit-work-on-that and was forced to invoke qmake manually. Probably due my
weird invocation and path setup I needed the patch. I argue that the patch in
itself is correct (probably unusual) and allows me to build with my setup.

Yesterday I found the root-cause and wrote about it in Comment #7. The
build-webkit script appends ../ until the directory is called WebKit. But the
name of my checkout is WebKit-work-on-xyz so this part of the script fails and
will cause malfunction on compilation. I can open another bug report to
sanitize the behaviour of build-webkit.
