This build has BR2_ENABLE_DEBUG=y, and when BR2_ENABLE_DEBUG=y, the
CMake package infrastructure passes -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug. I assume
that's under this condition that assertions become enabled.

Except that the build issue you're seeing is in master, and we're past
-rc1 (even -rc2 now), and therefore we generally don't take version
bumps in master, as we're too close to the release. Especially a
version bump on a complex package like wpewebkit, and for which the
version bump requires bumping the versions of a number of other
packages as well.
