This is probably low priority / importance but WebKitGTK 2.49.90 fails to build with gcc on 32-bit platforms. The reason is this 3.3 MB generated file: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3402745 Sep 3 12:49 DerivedSources/WebKit/GeneratedSerializers.cpp /usr/bin/c++ -DBUILDING_GTK__=1 -DBUILDING_WEBKIT=1 -DBUILDING_WITH_CMAKE=1 -DBUILDING_WebKit [...] -c /build/reproducible-path/webkit2gtk-2.49.90/build-soup3/DerivedSources/WebKit/GeneratedSerializers.cpp virtual memory exhausted: Cannot allocate memory I tested this with gcc 14.3.0 The good news is that clang (19.1.7) can build this successfully.

Never mind, Debian just updated gcc to 15.2.0 and the problem is gone, so I'm closing this.
