Although this is a very old and unsupported version of WebKitGTK+,
I think this upstream patch still applies:

   https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=171612

I'll give it a try and see if it works.

Bug#900282: webkitgtk FTBFS with new ICU

2018-05-28 Thread peter green 

package: webkitgtk
version: 2.4.11-3
severity: serious

Webkitgtk seems to be failing to build, failures have been seen with binnmus in 
Debian and Raspbian and also on the reproducible builds service. I had a look 
at the insanely large build log from reproducible builds and found the 
following error, there are likely many others.

../Source/JavaScriptCore/API/JSStringRef.cpp:86:30: error: invalid conversion 
from 'const UChar* {aka const char16_t*}' to 'const JSChar* {aka const short 
unsigned int*}' [-fpermissive]
 return string->characters();

It seems ubuntu already have a fix 
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/webkitgtk/2.4.11-3ubuntu3 I am trying to 
build that fix in raspbian now.
