Ok, back to the subject now that `webkit2gtk` was built with `gir` enabled for all targets.

Next I was trying to build `evolution-data-server` also with *gir everywhere* but first, the current version won't compile because of a problem with `ical`. The update `3.32.2` builds until it fails to link the `test-cal-client` stuff for introspection.

To be more specific it fails to link against the just built `${wrksrc}/build/src/private/libedbus-private.so` even when I specified that path as `export GIR_EXTRA_LIBS_PATH=${wrksrc}/build/src/private` in a `pre_build()` function.
The error happens when this command is run:
```

and reads
```

```
the fun part is there **is** a `-Wl,-rpath,.../build/src/private` where that private shlib can be found.

I currently have no clue what's going on there and would like to ask @Gottox or someone with more insight into that package for help.

Meanwhile I'll try to take care of above packages pending because `webkit2gtk` was the show stopper.
