Build trunk webkit(r133434) debug under Ubuntu12.10 64-bit will fails on make[1]: Entering directory `/home/halton/work/projects/webkit/WebKit-gtk/WebKitBuild/Debug' /bin/mkdir -p ./.deps/DerivedSources CXXLD libWebCore.la ar: .libs/libWebCore.a: File truncated make[1]: *** [libWebCore.la] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/halton/work/projects/webkit/WebKit-gtk/WebKitBuild/Debug' Refer to http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14625, ar refuse to archive >4g binaries. So can we fix inside webkit? Either split into small libraries or modify flags to reduce the debug archive size or other solutions?

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.

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 ***
