It'll be better to build it in release mode unless you're planning to
debug the Qt itself. It'll also reduce the size of the built libraries
by a good amount. This is important especially on embedded boards
which have slower processors.

We too are running Qt 4.6.2 on an embedded MIPS board and webkit works
fine while rendering webpages. BTW, what specific HTML5 tag is being
used in your test HTML5 page?

You can run a test of what all HTML5 tags are supported by your
QtWebkit by pointing your browser to www.html5test.com.
