I'm actually surprised that compiling V8 with gcc-4.4 still works. I
thought we required at least 4.6.

Well, you *could* just turn off clang... GYPFLAGS="-Dclang=0"
But then again there might well be other things that don't work on Natty
either.

git checkout 3.31.65  should work.

Note that 3.31.65 is just a random daily snapshot. Outdated, unsupported,
probably buggy. Don't use it in production, don't complain when something
doesn't work.
