Sadly, it does fail with one specific PACKAGECONFIG: ignore-lost-context

I have a fix which I've build-tested both for x11 and wayland with a
bunch of different targets, which is just waiting for run-testing:

Yes, I'll have a look.

Currently I'm trying to figure out how to move past this version.
After 53.0.2810.2 the current method OE uses to build chromium starts
to fail because (as is my understanding) it was around this point that
the chromium build switched from gyp+ninja (what we're using in OE) to
gn+ninja (ninja is like "make" and gyp/gn are like the autotools)
Therefore the gyp support starts to break down due to lack of upstream
maintainership. I'm starting to be able to do successful chromium
builds from tarballs on the cmdline (outside of OE) up to
57.0.2987.133 but I need to figure out how to translate that into a
recipe.

Oh, and it'd be nice to have an aarch64 build too.
