FWIW, I ran into this issue as well the first time I tried building
webkitgtk with a compiler tuned for armv7a.

I did not try many variations but was able to build with a machine
configuration with DEFAULTTUNE set to armv7ahf-neon (hard float with
neon simd).

This link seems to also provide some more information on what
configurations can be used to build webkitgtk on arm:
