Our configure script is run with the following options:
-force-pkg-config \
        -opensource \
        -prefix $(INSTALL_DIR) \
        -release \
        -embedded mips \
        -webkit \
        -xplatform qws/<path to my platform vendors mkspecs> \
        -little-endian \
        -no-nis \
        -no-cups \
        -dbus \
        -openssl-linked \
        -qt-freetype \
        -plugin-gfx-directfb \
        -qt-kbd-tty \
        -qt-kbd-linuxinput \
        -qt-mouse-pc \
        -qt-mouse-linuxinput \
        -no-gfx-transformed \
        -no-gfx-multiscreen \
        -no-qt3support \
        -no-accessibility \
        -no-xmlpatterns \
        -nomake tools \
        -nomake docs \
        -nomake examples \
        -nomake demos \
        -nomake translations \
        -fast \
        -v

gcc version 4.3.2 (from CodeSourcery )

You have not used the -webkit, then how is it building the webkit
module for you? Have you verified if the module is indeed built for
your target platform?

What app are you using for the browser? You can try the browser from
either demos or examples (u'll have top build them manually since you
have demos and example build disabled by your configure script).
