Excellent. I understand that gcc 4.8 is still in development, so it seems reasonable to me to place a workaround into WebKit.

I can't review the quality of the implementation itself (I'm not an expert on that topic), but it would seem to me that the surrounding #ifdefs could be limited to MIPS and GCC < 4.8, as well as the file name perhaps?
