Actually, I have been building qtwebengine@5.15.2 recently, and the building process definitely took more RAM space then. The largest increase in memory demand occurred at 73% --- as in the attached logs. In my case, the building process was run on a computer with 16GB of RAM and 16 threads. After adding a 30GB of swap space I was able to successfully finish the build. Most of the time the memory usage was about 6GB of RAM, but at the critical moment --- almost 40GB. I don't know if such a high demand can be solved by reducing the number of threads. The huge difference in RAM usage indicates that the critical moment just requires that much memory (too much of recursivity? too complex operations?). Spending 20GB of disk space (for swap) only to build a single library is a laughable requirement. Such tasks should be carried out by the substitution servers. Therefore, I believe the bug is not in the qutebrowser package configuration, but the real problem is: why substitutions aren't working with qtwebengine?
