Why can't you build QtWebKit in debug mode? This should be possible.
You can also build the release DLLs with debug information. Here's a 
very short description how to do this:

This 32 MB limit shouldn't be that problematic anymore since Windows

We're now Nokia since quite a while and still there's Windows CE on this
