           Summary: [GTK] Linking should run sequentially and not in
                    parallel (at least for debug builds)
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Gtk

A debug link of wkgtk can take up to 8 GB of RAM. In a parallelized build more than one instance of ld will be running at the same time, fighting for memory, and causing endless amounts of swapping in and out.

Linking, in particular in debugging builds, should run sequentially.
