P2: Important Description
The cloop fall-back which javascriptcore uses in recent webkit versions has a number of flaws that makes it fail to work on big-endian machines, and being the fallback for when no JIT is available means no javascript works on big-endian architectures.
This a regression from Qt 4.8 where the old JavaScriptCore had the traditional interpreter fallback and not cloop.
