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.
