Chrome still runs on Windows XP, so there is no reason that iojs
couldn't.

Tell the stl that exception handling is unavailable. This avoids warnings
like:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\include\
xlocale(337): warning C4530: C++ exception handler used, but unwind
semantics are not enabled. Specify /EHsc

Previously exception handling was disabled in release builds, but
enabled in debug builds. That makes no sense.

* Define and disable new flag `v8_use_external_startup_data`.
* Disable v8_postmortem_support, it's broken again. Fedor (@indutny)
has volunteered to fix it up in the near future.

The GCC version is no longer relevant since only 4.8 and newer are
supported. It's probably safe to assume clang on mac since V8 does
so too.

Now that V8 requires a compiler with decent C++11 support, there is no
reason to keep supporting old versions of gcc. Remove workarounds for
bugs in gcc 4.4 and older.
This coincidentally makes it easier to build with clang 3.3 + address
sanitizer because clang no longer chokes on the `-fno-tree-vrp` switch.

Because of behavior change of some V8 APIs (they mostly became more
strict), following modules needed to be fixed:
* crypto: duplicate prototype methods are not allowed anymore
* contextify: some TryCatch trickery, the binding was using it
incorrectly
* util: maximum call stack error is now crashing in a different place

Turn off -Werror when building V8, it hits -Werror=unused-local-typedefs
with g++ 4.8. The warning itself is harmless so don't abort the build.
This was originally implemented in commit d2ab314e back in 2011 but the
build process has gone through a few iterations since then, that change
no longer works.
In some scenarios this will strip the DOF sections for DTrace, and in a
future world where we re-export all static libraries it would defeat
that purpose.
Forcibly disable -Werror, the old { 'werror': '' } hack in node.gyp
no longer works with newer versions of V8.
We support a wide range of compilers, it's simply not feasible to
squelch all warnings, never mind that the libraries in deps/ are
not under our control.
Fixes #6817.
Adds a --with-icu-path= switch to the configure script. Requires that
the user checks out the copy of libicu that's bundled with chromium to
a fixed directory. It's still a little rough around the edges but it
works.
Fixes #6371.
Previously we were building the symbols, but the linker was garbage
collecting the symbols because they weren't used. Inform the linker
that we want to keep all symbols from v8 around.
The previous commit removes our patch that builds V8 at -O2 rather
than -O3 so there is not much point in keeping the configure switch
around.
The reason it did so was to work around an assortment of compiler and
linker bugs. In particular, certain combinations of g++ and binutils
generate bad or no code when -ffunction-sections or -finline-functions
is enabled (which -O3 implicitly does.)
It was quite the problem back in the day because everyone and his dog
built from source. Now that we have prebuilt binaries and packages
available, there is no longer a pressing need to be so accommodating.
If you experience spurious (or possibly not so spurious) segmentation
faults after this commit, you need to upgrade your compiler/linker
toolchain.
Resolves minor discrepancies between android and standard POSIX systems.
In addition, some configure parameters were added, and a helper-script
for android configuration. Ideally, this script should be merged into
the standard configure script.
To build for android, source the android-configure script with an NDK
path:
source ./android-configure ~/android-ndk-r8d
This will create an android standalone toolchain and export the
necessary environment parameters.
After that, build as normal:
make -j8
After the build, you should now have android-compatible NodeJS binaries.
Always define v8_postmortem_support, even if the platform does not
support it. Commit d8852aa adds a rule that references it in node.gyp.
Fixes the Windows build.
Turn off safe exception handlers, they're incompatible with how

Fixes #4242.
This is the only thing preventing a manually compiled version of GCC
(rather than Apple's provided llvm-gcc or heavily modified gcc 4.2)
from working properly, so we might as well enable support for that.
With this patch I was able to compile node using a manually compiled
gcc 4.7.1.
Closes #3887.
I disabled the -ffunction-sections and -fdata-sections switches in 202df30
because they're horribly buggy with some gcc/binutils combos.
However, it turns out that the dtrace/ustack post-processing tool requires
that V8 is compiled with said switches and was broken because of it.
This commit turns them on again on SunOS systems. Let's hope for the best.
