isn't this severely outdated and vulnerable? latest version of webkit2gtk+ is at the time of writing 2.20.1 (stable).
So why is this at version 2.4.11 and not flagged as being outdated?

@ReDemoNBR: Thanks and done :)
Or you should read the AUR wiki page and figure out how things actually work
The following build dependencies are missing: automake, bison, flex. You should probably add them to makedepends.
I've been building the last versions of this package for my Raspberry Pi 3 (arch 'armv7h') correctly for some months already and I think it is time to report that it is safe to add 'armv7h' in arch. Same is valid for webkitgtk2 package :D
Takes around 40-50 hours to build it but, believe it or not, it does work.
But please let the version as it is, otherwise we will have have to update it again :)
I have added the Repo from CN and addet the Keyring sudo pacman -Syy && sudo pacman -S archlinuxcn-keyring

Your package webkitgtk [1] has been flagged out-of-date by rbirkelbach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.

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Please don't flag it as out-of-date.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 FLAGS
useMAKEFLAGS="-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).
