Dear Maintainer,

The webkit2gtk package fails to build on hppa.  Unfortunately, the
log file is too big to upload.  So, one can only see that GNU ld runs
out of memory in manual builds.

I had a successful build by changing g1 to g0:

dave@mx3210:~/debian/webkit2gtk/webkit2gtk-2.52.6/debian$ cat rules.diff        --- rules.save  2026-08-26 18:09:25.979296233 -0400

Hopefully, this hack can be added for hppa.
