Hi, As you noticed, V8 does not currently support Sparc, MIPS or IA-64. I believe that the MIPS port is being worked on by the V8 team, but the "implementation" that exists in the v8 branch we currently have is simply stubs with no implementation. As far as I know, there are no plans to add Sparc or IA-64 backends and doing so is considerable work.
My understanding is that V8 was shifted into qtbase so that it could be used by QtWebkit. Is QtWebkit supported on those platforms? If it is, I supposed we could continue to use JSC for them, and only enable V8 on the platforms it supports, but someone else would have to give a definitive answer.
