I should also add that without threads, make failed multiple times (re-running make after a failure) when building with -j > 1. Not sure if the same thing would occur when running make with no parameters.

I already have -Dusethreads added to perl in my LFS sandbox. I've been waiting for other LFS packages to update, but will go ahead and do that today.
When we update this package, we probably should add a note that perl may need ot be updateed if the user built it before April 2017.

Yes, I have it put in a note already in my copy. I'm waiting for my build to finish before I submit it. At the rate that the power grid / UPS are faring today, probably not going to be until tomorrow. I've had to shut that machine off to conserve power several times since I got back.
Looks like this version of WebKitGTK+ requires Perl to be built with threads. i.e. Add -Dusethreads parameter to Configure when building Perl.
