We cannot rebuild skype and we cannot downgrade qtwebkit as 2.2 doesn't build.

Forgot to mention: It only happens on i686 systems. Not x86_64. Sorry! (first bug report)
Comment by Andrea Scarpino (BaSh) - Wednesday, 16 January 2013, 13:33 GMT
Yes because there's no lib32-qtwebkit package in [multilib], so the qtwebkit version for x86_64 is still 2.2.2 (provided by the lib32-qt package).

I am getting the same error "Segmentation fault (core dump)" with Skype 4.1.0.20-5 and qtwebkit-2.3.beta2-2 on my 32bit system. On my 64bit Arch desktop, Skype works just fine.

Same with Skype 4.1.0.20-6 and qtwebkit 2.3.0-1 on arch 32bit - Segfault.

This error only happens when you use glibc-git. Installing glibc solves it.
Comment by Andrea Scarpino (BaSh) - Monday, 15 April 2013, 15:49 GMT
FYI: qtwebkit has nothing to do with this since skype, for i686, includes a libQtWebKit library in its package.
Comment by Heinrich Siebmanns (Harvey) - Monday, 15 April 2013, 15:58 GMT
skype-4.1.0.20-6 segfaults with glibc-2.17-5 from core here.

This case seems to be related to this:

/usr/bin/skype is a wrapper around $LIBDIR/skype/skype. So yes, normal.
