I tried on my PC

It failed with 2GB RAM + 1.5 GB swap
with

   -Wl,--reduce-memory-overheads -Wl,--no-keep-memory

It passed linking of .libs/libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0.13.2
with 2GB RAM + 4.5 GB swap with

   -Wl,--reduce-memory-overheads -Wl,--no-keep-memory, -Wl,--hash-size=31

The peak usage seen in top have been about 3 GB in ld.bfd.

Please, could it be rescheduled on buildd with really
lot of RAM and swap space ?
