> ld: ../../lib/libWebCore.a: error adding symbols: malformed archive
I missed your thread and ended up applying the same set of patches, to
reach the same error.
According to
this could be caused by some size limit of archives.
I tried to set:
Toggle snippet (3 lines)
"-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release"
because it seems that it defaults to "RelWithDebInfo" that adds debug
symbols, but I doesn't help :(.

I see.
I haven't tried building from a branch yet, rather than cherry-picking a
handful of patches.
The warning message on their release page says that releases will come
from the qtwebkit-dev branch but, on GitHub, the default branch is
qtwebkit-dev-wip. And there is work on the qtwebkit-5.212 branch that is
more recent than the qtwebkit-5.212.0-alpha4 tag, which is what our
package is based on.
So, I think that someone should try these branches, and maybe try to
figure out which is the right one to try...

Hi Leo,
I found the cause of the "error adding symbols: Malformed archive".
It happens because the maximum number of open file descriptors is too
low. I pushed a fix (f3152cf3021892ba7e2f3d837207eb1ee64bfdb6) raising
the limit from 1024 to 4096 in the build phase on top of your 4 patches,
and the build succeeds.
