Does this mean we couldn't build Webkit-GTK on a 10.4.8 machine?

I'm afraid so.

But there's a bigger problem: I had to patch Webkit-Gtk to get it to compile and submitted the patch. It's a matter of conflating Gtk and X11. (It's at https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28727) The response was to patch more extensively to ensure that Webkit-Gtk won't build without X11, and when I reopened the bug, the maintainer commented that Webkit-Gtk doesn't support the Quartz backend. As long as Gnucash will build against 1.1.12 we're fine, but if we have to move to a newer version, more extensive patching will be needed.
