Hi.

Could the generate-bindings-all.pl script be modified to not require a threaded perl?
"The use of interpreter-based threads in perl is officially discouraged" by upstream and not all Linux distributions compile perl with threads support; that's also the case of the BSDs.

Trying to build on OpenBSD fails with:
This Perl not built to support threads
Compilation failed in require at ./webkitgtk4-2.16.0/webkitgtk-2.16.0/Source/WebCore/bindings/scripts/generate-bindings-all.pl line 35.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./webkitgtk4-2.16.0/webkitgtk-2.16.0/Source/WebCore/bindings/scripts/generate-bindings-all.pl line 35.
ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.

Thanks.
