net-libs/webkit-gtk is stripping some flags from CFLAGS but does so incorrectly. If I have "-ggdb1" in my CFLAGS to limit debugging information generated src_configure fails claiming that compiler does not work. The resulting compiler cmdline includes a lone " 1 " that seems left from s/-ggdb// kind of sed on CFLAGS. Just removing the -ggdb1 from CFLAGS gets the package to configure and compile.
Please provide the build.log and emerge --info as, per the ebuild code, it is only replacing the concrete -ggdb flag: pkg_setup() { # Check whether any of the debugging flags is enabled if [[ ${MERGE_TYPE} != "binary" ]] && is-flagq "-g*" && ! is-flagq "-g*0" ; then if is-flagq "-ggdb" && [[ ${WEBKIT_GTK_GGDB} != "yes" ]]; then replace-flags -ggdb -g ewarn "Replacing \"-ggdb\" with \"-g\" in your CFLAGS." ewarn "Building ${PN} with \"-ggdb\" produces binaries which are too" ewarn "large for current binutils releases (bug #432784) and has very" ewarn "high temporary build space and memory requirements." ewarn "If you really want to build ${PN} with \"-ggdb\", add" ewarn "WEBKIT_GTK_GGDB=yes" ewarn "to your make.conf file." fi einfo "You need to have at least 18GB of temporary build space available" einfo "to build ${PN} with debugging CFLAGS.

Problem applies at least to: net-libs/webkit-gtk-2.10.9:4 net-libs/webkit-gtk-2.4.10:3
If you still have this problem it would be interesting to see the logs from webkit-gtk-2.4 as it is autotools based. All I see from cmake is that for some reason it doesn't seem to find gcc, which is strange to say the least.

Use of "debug" USE-flag makes no difference.
I tried this and it worked here: # CFLAGS="-O2 -march=native -ggdb1" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=native -ggdb1" emerge -1B =webkit-gtk-2.12.5
According to the 2.4.11 config.log, the configure is never passed -ggdb1, but 1 directly. "configure:3859: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -O2 -march=nocona -pipe 1 -DENABLE_JIT=0 -DENABLE_YARR_JIT=0 -DENABLE_ASSEMBLER=0 -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,--no-keep-memory -Wl,--reduce-memory-overheads conftest.c >&5" Are you running some custom /etc/portage/bashrc ?
(In reply to Gilles Dartiguelongue from comment #9) > I tried this and it worked here: > # CFLAGS="-O2 -march=native -ggdb1" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=native -ggdb1" > emerge -1B =webkit-gtk-2.12.5 Ok, I found the cause, a few years ago I added /etc/portage/env/... for a few packages (webkit-gtk & firefox) to strip -ggdb via bash substitutions ( CFLAGS=${CGLAFS/-ggdb/}) there not taking into account the optional level. Probably because at the time I didn't go the route of debug levels and -ggdb producing just too much data for those bigger packages. Though now I trip on the ebuild wanting at least 18GB free space to consider building with -ggdb1... (hard to know what is the right value as level will influence amount of debug data produced)
As an alternative you can try to use this solution https://github.com/EvaSDK/etc-portage/blob/master/env/no-debug.conf. I have used it for a few years without any problem.
