Your package webkitgtk [1] has been flagged out-of-date by rbirkelbach
[2]:
The version provided is from 2016-04-10.
@rbirkelbach: WebKitGTK+ 2.4.x is the latest branch that provides WebKit1 API. Later branches provides WebKit2 API only, which is incompatible.

It seems someone needs to read the AUR wiki page
It seems that the following dependencies are missing: automake, bison, flex.
Noticed another problem. Same as @ShalokShalom commented below.
During compilation it throws a couple of type conversion errors like this: error: invalid conversion from ‘const JSChar {aka const short unsigned int}’ to ‘const UChar {aka const char16_t}’
I've found relevant ticket about it here https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101179 , though it seems pretty old and it is strange I managed to face this issue...
There was suggested a workaround - to define those types explicitly trough preprocessor flag, and it worked for me like that: CPPFLAGS="-DUCHAR_TYPE=char16_t" MAKEFLAGS="-j4" makepkg -s
Does not work with parallel make (e.g. MAKEFLAGS="-j4").

FAQ
Q: What's the difference between this package and extra/webkit2gtk?
A: webkitgtk/webkitgtk2 provides WebKit1 API/ABI, which is not compatible with WebKit2 API/ABI provided by extra/webkit2gtk. WebKitGTK+ 2.4.x is the latest branch that provides WebKit1 API. Later branches provides WebKit2 API only.
Please don't flag it as out-of-date.
Q: Are there binaries for this package somewhere?
A: I maintain the latest built package at https://github.com/frealgagu/archlinux.webkitgtk/releases
Q: "error while loading shared libraries: libicui18n.so.62: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
A: You'll need to rebuild against the latest version of ICU.
Q: "error: ‘WTF::StringImpl::StaticASCIILiteraicASCIILiteral’ has not been declared" or any enchant errors.
A: If you are building in parallel, try disabling parallel using -j1 in /etc/makepkg.conf
Q: Why building takes too long time?
A: WebKit is inherently big and complex. You can modify /etc/makepkg.conf or PKGBUILD directly to build it in parallel.
Change "make all stamp-po" by "make -j x all stamp-po" in PKGBUILD replacing x by cores your machine has. (Thanks to @MadMe)
Change /etc/makepkg.conf in that way: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/makepkg#Parallel_compilation under
# ARCHITECTURE, COMPILE FLAGSuseMAKEFLAGS="-j9"# It should be one more than your virtual CPUs. (Thanks to @tuxsavvy).However be pending if errors occur as mentioned in previous question.
Q: How much I want to wait to a successful compilation?
A: It varies of your PC's processor and RAM, the times shared in the comments are as follow:
3.5 hours to build on core i5 laptop with 8G of RAM, makeflags j4. (@cabbage)
13.5 hours to build on AMD Athlon X2, makeflags j1 (@Bonnietwin).
5-6 hours on Core2Duo E8400 with 8GB RAM, makeflags j2 (tuxsavvy).
50 minutes on 6c/12t 3.3GHz (@kubrick).
