Bug#528485: qt4-x11 - FTBFS: webkit linking fails

["Fathi Boudra (Debian)" <fabo@debian.org>]

Hi,

By default, debug info are disabled for QtWebkit. It's an upstream choice.
I enabled debug info using 18_enable_qt3support_qtwebkit_debug_info.diff patch to provide debug package for QtWebkit. This patch triggered the build failure on s390. The linker runs out of memory which is the reason why pristine upstream QtWebkit doesn't have debugging symbols at all.

For our users, we should continue to provide QtWebkit debug package.
That means, we can't disable QtWebkit debug info as upstream does.

We have 2 solutions:
a) drop patch 18 and QtWebkit debug package.
or
b) build with gstabs on s390 architecture.

thoughts ?

cheers,

Fathi
