--- Comment #1 from Adrian Perez <aperez at igalia.com> ---
As a workaround, once can use instead:

 % build-webkit --gtk --cmakeargs='-DENABLE_PLUGIN_PROCESS_GTK2=OFF'

but in my opinion developers should not need to pass anything special
to “build-webkit” to get a vanilla build done with the usual development
compilation options.

>From what I understand, this is because the Flatpak SDK is not shipping
GTK2 anymore, which means we have two ways to go about this:

 a.) Add GTK2 to our local build manifest.
 b.) When building inside the Flatpak environment, automatically
     disable the GTK2 plugin process.

While I would prefer to to (b.) —and in the long run that is what
will happen— at the moment we support the option, and threfore I think
that we should routinely build with the option enabled to make sure
the code does not bitrot, so right now I think we should go for (a.).
