Hi,

webkit 1.8.1-4 FTBFS on kfreebsd-amd64. From the buildd logs[1][2]:

At first I thought it would be running out of memory. Note that we build
with -Wl,--no-keep-memory on 32 bit arches and so not here. But given that
a retry failed similarly I started a build on falla.d.o which failed
similarly. I then built with -Wl,--no-keep-memory only and with
-Wl,--no-keep-memory -Wl,--reduce-memory-overheads afterwards and it failed
both times. The failure is similar to the above.

It doesn't seem to be a too long command line (we have had that previously)
because the linker takes about 25 minutes to fail on falla.

CC'ing -bsd. I'd appreciate if you could take a look.

Thank you,
Emilio
