Bug#673469: libwebkitgtk-1.0-0: segfaults all the time on armel, javascript related

Others have reported that compiling with JIT disabled fixes the issue.
Might it be an idea to alter the standard Debian package to patch
Webkit/Source/JavaScriptCore/wtf/Platform.h so that
ENABLE_CLASSIC_INTERPRETER is always set to 1? Then users encountering
crashes can set JavaScriptCoreUseJIT=0 as an environment variable to
fall back to the interpreter. This makes it much easier to verify a
crash actually is related to the JIT. (See JSGlobalData.cpp for the
code that checks JavascriptCoreUseJIT).
