Yes, because it's hard to get "just right" in the face of a "dirty" build
environment with old versions and mismatched dependencies installed. The return
on investment is really small.

Doing *anything* in the build of WebEngine is hard, because it's a seven-layer
cake of buildsystems (make->qmake->gn->ninja .. ok, four-layer, along with .pri
and .json frosting). We'd be happy to take patches, but chasing this for days
is not something kde@ has time for.

So, after 45 minutes of dealing with this PR, if you `make configure` and the
`make all` and break after the first bit of gn build:
- there's no link lines written yet, those are generated somewhere in the rest
of the build
- libQt5WebEngineCore.prl might be relevant
