Hi!

The Gold linker is causing issues on powerpc which can be fixed by simply
linking webkit2gtk with the standard BFD linker instead.

Please disable Gold on powerpc with:

ifneq (,$(filter $(DEB_HOST_ARCH),powerpc))
        EXTRA_CMAKE_ARGUMENTS += -DUSE_LD_GOLD=OFF
endif

Gold is disabled on openSUSE as well where webkit2gtk builds fine and I have
verified that this is the case on Debian as well.

Adrian
