webkit-gtk fails on Linux: *** No rule to make target 'JavaScriptCore-4.0.gir', needed by 'WebKit2-4.0.gir'

[Ottavio Caruso <ottavio2006-usenet2012%yahoo.com@localhost>]

Hi,

$ uname -a
Linux e130 4.9.0-11-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.189-3+deb9u1 (2019-09-20)
x86_64 GNU/Linux

While trying to build liferea, and after more than 48 hours of
compiling, I've just encountered a failure in building webkit-gtk:

make[2]: *** No rule to make target 'JavaScriptCore-4.0.gir', needed
by 'WebKit2-4.0.gir'.  Stop.
CMakeFiles/Makefile2:1481: recipe for target
'Source/WebKit/CMakeFiles/WebKit2-4-gir.dir/all' failed
make[1]: *** [Source/WebKit/CMakeFiles/WebKit2-4-gir.dir/all] Error 2
Makefile:168: recipe for target 'all' failed
make: *** [all] Error 2
*** Error code 2

Stop.
bmake[3]: stopped in /home/oc/cvs/pkgsrc/current/pkgsrc/www/webkit-gtk
*** Error code 1

Apparently, this is still marked as a bug upstream:
