Bug#579806: webkit: FTBS on mips (buidd on ball.debian.org: No space left on device)

[Vincent CARON]

Package: webkit
Version: 1.2.0-1
Severity: important
Justification: fails to build from source

Webkit has failed to build for 5 months on some platforms due to buildd
problems. This prevents many application from migrating to testing (RC
bug AFAIK).

As seen on [1], webkit fails to build on ball.debian.org (mips) and
stops with 'No space left on device' error.

I don't know how to contact the MIPS builder admins, and I can't provide
such hardware. I've set up a mips pbuilder at home with the help of
qemu, but it has been running since 36h and has barely started to
compile the JS interpreter part... (on an amd64/Core2 2.4GHz)

Plug: 99% of the (looong) build log is about the same warning. According
to [2] it looks OK to drop the -Wcast-align warning class, because the
alignment increase is desired for performance issues (otherwise it would
require to deeply rethink type casting in webkit...).
