Yes, unfortunately I looked but it seems that webkit-gtk does not
redefine them, e.g.:

[from the ${WRKSRC}]
$ grep -R readlink .
./Source/WTF/wtf/gobject/GlibUtilities.cpp:    ssize_t result = 
readlink("/proc/self/exe", readLinkBuffer, PATH_MAX);
./Source/WTF/wtf/gobject/GlibUtilities.cpp:    ssize_t result = 
readlink("/proc/curproc/file", readLinkBuffer, PATH_MAX);
Il file binario ./Source/WTF/wtf/gobject/.libs/libWTF_la-GlibUtilities.o

...where «Il file binario ... corrisponde» =~ «The binary file ...
matches»

So I do not know if it is a webkit-gtk problem or gcc-48 problem...

If someone with some spare CPU cycles can try to build it on different
port and/or version and/or compiler and report the results it would be
very helpful.

PS: Thomas, I have also read your email about javascript support in
webkit-gtk (particulary gnucash IIRC)... I can not reply technically
but in the last months I saw that www/firefox can render various sites
full of nasty javascript better than webkit-gtk based web browsers. I
hope we will soon update www/webkit-gtk and maybe these problems will
be fixed.
