To make mokomakefile respect your change (including automatically 
merging it when needed), just commit it (the openembedded directory is a 
normal git working tree). Mokomakefile does a sequence where it will 
merge your local changes instead of overwriting them, but it fails 
without a clean working tree (i.e. you cannot have uncommited changes; 
see http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/gitglossary.html for 
details).

Defeating a static assert is not a good idea ("size of array is 
negative" is what happens when a static assert fails). The assert being 
there probably means the programmers assumed sizeof(unsigned long long) 
== sizeof(JSUword) in the code, and wanted the build to abort in case 
something went wrong and that wasn't true.

The real error should be elsewhere, in the definition of JSUword (it 
should have the same size as unsigned long long (i.e. 64 bits), but not 
necessarily the same type). Since you are on arm, unsigned long is 
probably 32 bits, which means the variable has half the size it should have.

I'm guessing it's confusing native and cross compilers; it is using the 
native compiler to find out that "unsigned long" is enough (64 bits on 
the AMD64 architecture), but using the cross compiler to actually 
compile the code (where "unsigned long" is 32 bits).
