           Summary: [CMake] Work around a bug in the Ninja generator
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Tools / Tests
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: mrobinson at webkit.org


The Ninja generator does not know how to append archives, so cannot split long archives into multiple commands. This means that the Ninja build fails with errors like "Argument list too long." It's possible to work around this issue by forcing the use of response files, which pack the archive filenames into a file and then pass that filename to the linker.
