I have the same bug with r31667 and r31623 . 

using command ./build-webkit --gtk --qmake=qmake-qt4
also ./build-webkit --qmake=qmake-qt4 gives same result. My system info is below 
if u need more please tell me.

Linux 2.6.18-86
gcc 3.4.6
QMake version 2.01a
Using Qt version 4.3.4
glibc 2.3.6
gtk-engines  2.11.2 
gtk-qt-engine  0.8
gtk2      2.12.8

This just looks like a gcc bug to me. Do we even attempt to support anything below gcc 4? Is there a reason to support older versions?

[Georgi Kirilov]

There are embedded devices for which the toolchain is supplied by the hardware vendor, and they do not support the newest gcc versions. A while ago I built WebKitGtk for a mipsel device and many problems arose because of the old toolchain/libraries (mainly uClibc). The vendor just said they don't have the time to support newer versions. So if a workaround for a not too old gcc is possible (and is not too complicated) I think it is worth.

seem to be fixed in r33561! closing as FIXED.
