+The WebKit code conditionally calls getRootCoords() when the Gtk
+version is old (i.e < 2.17.3), but fails to declare the prototype of
+this function (which is implemented after its call site). This build
+failure has probably been missed due to the fact that not many people
+try to compile recent WebKit versions with old Gtk.
