12 Tried that and gnucash-2.7.4 (and dependencies) do build without any
13 troubles. But https://gnucash.org/news.phtml declares that all 2.7.*
14 versions are unstable, so I
15 prefer not to risk it. I have finally managed to get
16 webkit-gtk-2.4,11,r200 to build by unsetting a number of use flags and
17 building strictly in serial
18 mode, so problem is solved at the expense of substantially increased build time.

20 Appreciate your help.
