That's very optimistic of you. Both WebKit and -- worse -- WebEngine are 
*huge*. I wouldn't even bother starting on this with only 32GB of RAM. Note 
also that the resulting debug files may be larger than 4GB, and that breaks 
down on some filesystems. 

I thought there was a PR about this, too, but I can't find it all that 
quickly.

Note, too, that WebKit is considered obsolete, and it's not receiving much 
(any?) attention.
