[webkit-qt] Incremental build problems with icecc

Hi All,

We found an annoying incremental build bug yesterday. So, be
careful if you use icecream(icecc) to build WebKit with Qt5.

The problem is that build-webkit uses gcc to generate dependencies parallel
to build with the following command: gcc -c -MD x.c -o obj/x.o But unfortunately
icecc consumes the "-o obj/x.o" for preprocessing and executes "gcc -E -MD x.c",
which generates x.d into the current directory incorrectly. It should be generated
to obj/x.d to have correct dependency files picked up by Makefile.

We can do a simple workaround: export BUILD_WEBKIT_ARGS="CONFIG-=GNUmake"

If you have an idea how to fix it properly, feel free to comment https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79102 .

br,
Ossy
