--- Comment #1 from Adrian Perez <aperez at igalia.com> ---
The patch for bug #172154 has been merged to the 2.26 stable
branch, and the 2.26.1 release does not try to set the the
G_TLS_GNUTLS_PRIORITY variable anymore — that is why your
patch does not apply.

With version 2.26.1 or newer you won't need the patch because
GnuTLS 3.5 fixed its lists of allowed algorithms, and we would
rather not use ugly hacks in WebKit, and instead rely on updated
versions of GnuTLS (which distros *need* to keep to up to date
anyway because it is a an important component for security!).

TL;DR: WebKit does not have a hack anymore for this, and relies
on GnuTLS and glib-networking know to do the right thing. You
don't need this patch anymore for building :)
