If I remember correctly (and I may not) the only thing I *had* to
rebuild was webkit-gtk with 4.8 as I was getting errors with apps built
with 4.8 and webkit-gtk built by 4.7.

But I tend to set up a @world rebuild to run when I'm not on my machines
if I have any issues anyway so I may not have run into other problems I
might have had otherwise.
