I'm not WebKit developer.
But I think this issue is not relating to WebKit.
Because 32-bit OS can allocate memory under 32-bit memory address space,
so 4GB maximum. It is not depended on CPU architecture or any other PC
specs.
Regarding no use swap file, it seems to be the memory management problem
on your 32-bit linux.
I think it's better to report this problem to any developers of your
linux kernel.
If you build WebKit as static library, you can try to build WebKit as
shared library, it uses memory less than static library when linking.

Hi. Recently I've upgraded my PC and installed 12 GB of memory. I have
a 32-bit linux installed.
After upgrade I can't build it anymore. Id crashes with SEGFAULT
(memory exhausted). Seems like before upgrade linker have used swap
file. But now it's using physical memory (and can't allocate more than
4GB).
Is there any option to build 32-bit Webkit on 64-bit machine?
Something like build-webkit -32?
