--- Comment #6 from Jonathan Hyry <jon at ttcwenatchee.com>  2012-02-01 21:01:05 PST ---
I have encountered this same issue trying to compile webkit-1.6.1. I am on Slackware 13.37 i686.

I noticed Mathew Dawkins' comment with the diff.... If you modify his diff as follows, webkit should compile normally:

--- webkit-1.6.1/Source/JavaScriptCore/wtf/gobject/GTypedefs.h~    2011-09-26 14:54:57.000000000 -0600
+++ webkit-1.6.1/Source/JavaScriptCore/wtf/gobject/GTypedefs.h    2011-11-20 06:30:29.608190397 -0700

 typedef struct _GHashTable GHashTable;
 typedef struct _GInputStream GInputStream;
 typedef struct _GList GList;
-typedef struct _GMutex GMutex;
+typedef union  _GMutex GMutex;
 typedef struct _GPatternSpec GPatternSpec;
 typedef struct _GPollableOutputStream GPollableOutputStream;
 typedef struct _GSocketClient GSocketClient;

_GMutex needs to be typedf'ed like this because the definition of a GMutex is as follows, per http://developer.gnome.org/glib/2.31/glib-Threads.html#GMutex:

union _GMutex
{
  /*< private >*/
  gpointer p;
  guint i[2];
};

This appears to be the only problem so far. Though webkit is still compiling (has been for the past 20 minutes), it has not run into any errors/warnings. I will post a follow-up comment if it errors out of the build process.
