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.
