The problem is that gtkdoc-fixxref expects the links to be in the form html/modulename (like the installed ones), but we generate the documentation as modulename/html. So, links to WebKitDOM or JSC are generated as ../html/Foo. The rebase command considers html to be the module name in this case, creating broken links in all the cases.

Comment on attachment 338315 [details] Patch If you have spare cycles, I would investigate whether we can dump our custom gtkdoc scripts in favor of https://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk-doc/tree/cmake
