Attempted gdb diagnostics

OLPC is moving from xulrunner to webkit. This is working great on our x86 laptops, but not on our latest ("XO-1.75") ARMv7 laptop.

We are running Fedora 17 with webkitgtk-1.8.1 (GTK3).

On the ARM platform, loading a javascript-heavy webpage causes a crash. Reproduced in Epiphany and OLPC's own "Browse activity" for the Sugar desktop. Reproduces very easily - loading gmail or Google Docs will cause an instant crash most of the time.

Unfortunately gdb is not helpful with the crash. With all relevant debuginfo packages installed:

(gdb) bt
#0  0x00000024 in ?? ()
#1  0x49f0eaf4 in ?? ()
#2  0x49f0eaf4 in ?? ()

The crash can't be reproduced on identical configuration on x86.

WebKit was built with these options:
