[OE-core] [PATCH 1/1] webkit-gtk: fix 'Memory exhausted' error

[André Draszik]

Hi,

Instead of penalising everybody, would it be possible to make this
change dependent on the build machine (ram + swap)? Or to only add
-Wl,--no-keep-memory if the build failed without it?

Not sure if it would make any difference, but do you see this only with
full debug enabled (-ggdb)? If yes, can the debug flags be changed, or
that linker flag only be added, if full debug is enabled?


Cheers,
Andre'
