[Bug 1043507] Re: webkit build fails on binutils limitation

[Iain Lane]

I backported this patch

  http://code.metager.de/source/xref/WebKit/Tools/gtk/patches/make-3.82
-arg-list-length.patch

to a local build of make-dfsg (to get past the error you got), and tried
to build webkit from

  https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-desktop/+archive/ppa/+packages

but it fails with

  ar: .libs/libWebCore.a: File truncated
  make[1]: *** [libWebCore.la] Error 1
  make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/ubuntu/webkit-1.9.91/build-2.0'
