        Hi,
I've not much idea on this one. On the first look, it looks like a
mismatch of the development files and the binary files, or stale build
artifacts (then you might eventually rebuild), or some dependency
(possibly of the WebKitGTK) is old/new, or... You may ask Google or
your distribution maintainer, though the quickest workaround is
obvious, revert the package(s) update.

Why do you use obsolete version? If you are going to propose patches,
then you should follow the main development branch, which is called
'master' here. That will also make sure your patches will apply cleanly
to the development version.

Aha, then focus on those and do fix them first. The runtime warnings
are meant to claim when something unexpected happens. Like the one with
the undefined symbol above. I suppose until you fix that one you cannot
run your custom build at all.

Funny you quoted the answer too. That only supports what Andre said.
That's really sad.

I'm done with this thread. Do not expect additional answers from me.

        Thanks for trying and bye,
