Hi!
I'm building V8 on FreeBSD as a prerequisite for intensity engine
(syntensity.com). The engine have just switched to latest version
of V8, which fixed a problem with building on 64bit FreeBSD. Now it
builds just fine, but there are some issues which it would be good
to fix:
1) V8 doesn't build on 64bit system out of box:
---
% scons
scons: Reading SConscript files ...
TypeError: cannot concatenate 'str' and 'NoneType' objects:
File "/usr/home/amdmi3/v8-be/SConstruct", line 607:
'help': 'the architecture to build for (' + ARCH_GUESS + ')'
---
stangely, there's no quirks for 64bit systems in tools/utils.py which
is used to set ARCH_GUESS. With this, it builds fine:

--- 1.patch ends here ---
2) V8 doesn't build in presence of lang/spidermonkey port, as there's
an include conflict: spidermonkey installs jsregexp.h, and it's included
instead of the correct one from V8. Here's what happens:
---
...

---
That should be fixed by changing the order of include paths.
3) Also I've ran tests - everything pass on amd64, but some fail on i386:
