Hi Sachin,

We had the same/a similar problem with QtWebKit.
Ranlib ran out of memory on a 32bit system when building debug, because the 
library got bigger than 4GB.
I dont think there is a proper solution for this problem. The only thing that 
would help would be to reduce the size of WebCore. For now we just disabled 
debug builds on 32bit systems. I heard some people managed to build debug by 
disabling SVG. - never tried it myself though.

Best Regards
