    Thanks, I just applied this:

    https://salsa.debian.org/webkit-team/webkit/-/commit/ae901b67c1572e9ae82bbe04071fd60cc43d578c

    Thanks! Could you apply the same change to wpewebkit as well?

    Thanks,
    Adrian

    Hi,

    webkit2gtk fails to build from source due to overflowing sections
    during the linking stage [1]:

    Source/WTF/wtf/CMakeFiles/WTF.dir/./DateMath.cpp.o: in function `_GLOBAL__sub_I_DateMath.cpp':
    ./build-soup3/./Source/WTF/wtf/DateMath.cpp:104:(.text.startup._GLOBAL__sub_I_DateMath.cpp+0x8): relocation truncated to fit: GPREL16 against symbol `WTF::weekdayName' defined in .bss._ZN3WTF11weekdayNameE section in Source/WTF/wtf/CMakeFiles/WTF.dir/./
    DateMath.cpp.o
    Source/WTF/wtf/CMakeFiles/WTF.dir/./DateMath.cpp.o: in function `__static_initialization_and_destruction_0':
    ./build-soup3/./Source/WTF/wtf/DateMath.cpp:105:(.text.startup._GLOBAL__sub_I_DateMath.cpp+0x24): relocation truncated to fit: GPREL16 against symbol `WTF::monthName' defined in .bss._ZN3WTF9monthNameE section in Source/WTF/wtf/CMakeFiles/WTF.dir/./
    DateMath.cpp.o ./build-soup3/./Source/WTF/wtf/DateMath.cpp:106:(.text.startup._GLOBAL__sub_I_DateMath.cpp+0x54): relocation truncated to fit: GPREL16 against symbol `WTF::monthFullName' defined in .bss._ZN3WTF13monthFullNameE section in Source/WTF/wtf/CMakeFiles/WTF.
    dir/./DateMath.cpp.o
    collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

    This can be fixed by passing -mlarge-data and -mlarge-text to gcc:

    # slow but it is the most compatible solution for old (non-SSE2) CPUs.

    Could you patch debian/rules as shown above to adjust CPPFLAGS on alpha?

    Thanks,
    Adrian
