Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. generate build with GN_ARGS="enable_webrtc=false"
2. build fails with error:

FAILED: android_clang_arm/obj/chrome/browser/browser/native_desktop_media_list.o
[...]
In file included from ../../chrome/browser/media/webrtc/native_desktop_media_list.cc:16:

#include "modules/desktop_capture/desktop_frame.h"
         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1 error generated.

What is the expected behavior?
Build should complete successfully.

What went wrong?
The code does not take in account the WebRTC dependency; the IFDEFs are not covering all the places where webrtc code is being used.

Did this work before? Yes 

Chrome version: 63.0.3239.118  Channel: dev
OS Version: Ubuntu 14.04
Flash Version: 

The provided patch allows building Chromium successfully (tested at tag 63.0.3239.118); I am not sure however that this is the best way to fix the build dependency bug.

See https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=730019 for last time this bug was reported
