So can we fix inside webkit? Either split into small libraries or modify flags to reduce the debug archive size or other solutions? 788117 1 halton.huo 2012-12-11 00:25:28 -0800 Upgrade binutils to 2.23 will resolve this issue. For ubuntu, get it from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/binutils/2.23-2ubuntu1. I'd like to close this bug then. 789097 2 halton.huo 2012-12-11 18:48:09 -0800 Woops, i'm wrong, this bug is fixed by change for r134864, not by upgrade my binutils to 2.23. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 94435 ***
