Dear Maintainer,
The webkit2gtk package fails to build on hppa. Unfortunately, the
log file is too big to upload. So, one can only see that GNU ld runs
out of memory in manual builds.
I had a successful build by changing g1 to g0:

Hopefully, this hack can be added for hppa.

Hi, unfortunately that's going to be the case from now on since the
project no longer supports big-endian architectures.
For more details see #1148038 and
