I encountered the same problem with webkit-gtk-1.8.3 on Gentoo. Further debugging reveals what I met is actually a bug in pkgconf-0.9.1. When building documentation webkit-gtk executes a command like `pkg-config /build/root/webkit-1.8.3/Source/WebKit/gtk/webkit-1.0.pc --cflags`. webkit-1.0.pc depends on glib-2.0 and a few other pkgconfig modules, but pkgconf has a bug in its implementation that once it find a file based on full path the user specified, it will stop adding default search paths (/usr/lib/pkgconfig, etc.) to its search path list, resulting in a failure to find the dependencies of webkit-1.0.pc. This issue is only recently fixed by pkgconf developers < https://github.com/pkgconf/pkgconf/commit/83877eb2f7dde3a9120e7f512058f23aa9c34690 >. Hopefully it could be helpful for you.
