As you should know, without the compiler errors it’s not possible to discern 
what went wrong with the webkit build. Please provide them.

I’ve added a note to the wiki page about adjusting the OS version.

Jhbuild can’t count on tar being able to handle xz-compressed files, so it uses 
the command line
  xzcat path/to/file | tar -xf -
which will fail if xzcat isn’t available on the path. That would be the case if 
you didn’t run jhbuild bootstrap first, but in that case you wouldn’t have 
gotten much further than building Python, since almost all of the Gnome 
libraries also use xz.
