Probably the latter. When I was working on wip/webkit-gtk I remember
that the last linking phase needed serveral GBs of RAM. From the CVS log
messages in wip/webkit-gtk:

[...]
 PS: please note that you will need >=~2GB of RAM and swap during the
 install phase... In this machine I have 767MB of RAM and 1GB of swap
 but it is not sufficient for linking with ld(1) in the install phase...
 Creating a 1GB swap file solved this issue (thank you asau@):
 
  # dd if=/dev/zero of=/swap bs=1m count=1000
  # chmod 600 /swap
  # swapctl -a -p 1 /swap
