Description arno. 2012-08-24 09:27:56 PDT 
Hi,

when trying to build webkit with build-webkit --gtk on a clean repository (for example, just cloned), it fails with 

 % ./Tools/Scripts/build-webkit --gtk
Calling autogen.sh in /home/arno/webkit/WebKit.upstream/WebKitBuild/Release

grep: /home/arno/webkit/WebKit.upstream/WebKitBuild/Release/GNUmakefile: No such file or directory
Can't exec "": No such file or directory at /home/arno/webkit/WebKit.upstream/Tools/Scripts/webkitdirs.pm line 1941.
Calling autogen.sh failed!

This happens because of unshift(@buildArgs, jhbuildWrapperPrefixIfNeeded()); which adds an empty string as a first argument of @buildArgs. Then, system call tries to execute empty command and fails.
