You are correct. I increased the memory of the VM and didn't login to
Gnome. The compile completed successfully.

Installed
# dpkg -i libwebkit-1.0-2_1.2.4-1.disablejit_kfreebsd-i386.deb
libwebkit-1.0-2-dbg_1.2.4-1.disablejit_kfreebsd-i386.deb
libwebkit-1.0-common_1.2.4-1.disablejit_all.deb

Re-enabled Javascript in Liferea and Epiphany (and restarted them). They
both work without crashing. Success!

Patch needed for kfreebsd attached.

Danke!

Tschüss,
Mike.
