The solution for the failure is to compile 615.1 using the C++20 flag for Windows (we will use this flag on all platforms for the next WebKit update). The fix for that bug is necessarily included in this PR, since the two fixes as interdependent.

We're also using  compiler version `14.35.32215`. And I doubt it matters, but we're using Windows SDK version `10.0.22621.0`.

Are you using python3 or still python2? We have seen some problems with python2 not working correctly with the latest WebKit update, although that error doesn't suggest a problem there.

@HimaBinduMeda Any other ideas?
