Public bug reported:

There is a patch in the Debian/Ubuntu specific build:
debian/patches/prefer_pthread.patch

I've identified this patch to be problematic. It causes
deadlocks/freezes of the Eclipse UI. Building webkit2gtk without this
patch makes Eclipse happy.

https://bugs.eclipse.org/567881
https://gist.github.com/guw/30bc8b14756e364c3d158fababbbd62d

It seems that this change was introduced to fix a problem on a very specific 
architecture.
https://salsa.debian.org/webkit-team/webkit/-/commit/5d1dec1e544b1277e1b97ccf80de647ba9e4465b

The patch should likely by targeted to that specific architecture only.
