Description

I have found the cause of my issues with Midori and Evolution as part of my last build on my workstation.

The errors in libjavascriptcoregtk-3.0.so were caused by some compiler issues.

The solution appears to be to add:

CFLAGS=-fno-delete-null-pointer-checks
CXXFLAGS=-fno-delete-null-pointer-checks

(Yes, to both of them)

To the build instructions.

I'm running a build of WebkitGTK+ with it right now, but I wanted to have a ticket here to document it for reference purposes.
