i am running ubuntu 11.10 64 bit. I was able to eventually build with
--makeargs=-j1.
I will try increase the swap space and see if it helps.

I synced up the latest webkit code base and am trying to build webkit
gtk on ubuntu 11.10 with 4gb of RAM and 4 CPUs
I tried with --makeargs=-j2 but still got ld process terminated
signal[9] error ?which indicates that it ran out of memory.
I suspect i will still the get the same error with --makeargs=-j1.
Is there any other flag where we can restrict the memory usage?

I had the same problem after I've upgraded my PC to 12 GB of RAM.
Before upgrade I was able to build 32 bit webkit on my 4 GB computer
with Ubuntu 11.10 32-bit with PAE and 8 GB of swap.
So what I recommend is to remove 1 GB of memory (or load something
heavy to take that 1GB of RAM) and add more swap.
Physical address extension doesn't allow any process to take more than
[specific amount] of physical RAM, so swap must be used. In your case
it seems like swap is never used, so the system fails to address
additional physical memory you have.
But I highly recommend upgrading your computer to minimum of 8 GB of
RAM and install 64 bit Ubuntu. If you really need 32-bit build,
cross-compiling might be an option.
