I don't know if you understand the concepts discussed in that bug report, but this this is basic idea: You see that the undefined symbol includes the string "GLIBCXX". From this you can tell that the program uses the well-known c++ standard library, which happens to be installed separately by each version of gcc you have on your computer. The error you are seeing is caused by using a different version of gcc to compile webkit-gtk than you used to compile some other package that webkit-gtk depends on. The tedious but necessary fix is to find every package on your computer that needs libstdc++ and then recompile all of them with the same version of gcc. Yup, boring.
