bug#35232: webkitgtk-2.24.1 fails to build on i686, but earlier versions work

[Mark H Weaver]

Hydra failed to build webkitgtk-2.24.1 on i686-linux, saying "SSE2
support is required to compile WebKit".

  https://hydra.gnu.org/build/3439652

See below for the tail of the build log.  Note that earlier versions of
webkitgtk built successfully on i686-linux, including 2.24.0:

  https://hydra.gnu.org/job/gnu/master/webkitgtk-2.24.0.i686-linux

Removing support for i686, or even for systems without SSE2, seems like
an odd thing for upstream to do in a point release.  Is it truly the
case, or can we fix this with a change in configuration?

I dug around in the upstream git SVN mirror and found that the the
(harmless) change causing this failure had been reverted.

Fixed in commit e28ff04108ae7, thanks for reporting it!
