Thanks.  The next problem is that I run out of memory while trying to
link libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so.37.6.3:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
ld: failed to set dynamic section sizes: Memory exhausted
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Source/WebKit2/CMakeFiles/WebKit2.dir/build.make:17791: recipe for target 'lib/libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so.37.6.3' failed
make[2]: *** [lib/libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so.37.6.3] Error 1
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I have 2 GB of RAM and 4 GB of swap in this i686 machine.  I'm able to
build GNU IceCat in this same machine, thanks to the fact that we build
without debugging information.

How would people feel about doing the same with webkitgtk?
