Thanks for your response.

Yes it was odd that webkit was being built even with -nowebkit.

Ultimately, we got a successful build by increasing the memory ulimit and 
dropping the -nowebkit option, i.e., explicitly bulding webkit.  Wish that the 
build error had described the issue more usefully.   Would have saved us days 
of experimentation.
