The debug build of libWebCore.a is getting bigger than 4GB again and the archiver (ar) is not able to handle files with this size. The solution has been to split the library (Bug 94435). The WebInspector is another module that could be moved to a separate library.

This patch is not necessary after this fix http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/143001 The IRC conversation explaining the fix is copied below. <kov> dnomi, the usual flags are 'cru', we add 'T' which causes the .a files to not include all files but to just point to them instead - it's called a thin archive <kov> dnomi, helps with disk space, I/O cache and sidesteps the archive size limit
