a build.log and emerge --info would be useful. Thank you

The only useful info is at URL.

Quote:
The `webkit_web_view_get_selected_text' function was removed from webkit source (see https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=62512).

Midori can't be compiled versus webkitgtk after rev. 88621.

And the proper fix in midori git:

Could be cool to be backported. Or is there a new version planned soon?

I do not really like to spam reports with info and build.log with obvious issues.
