<https://bugs.python.org/issue13146> It was fixed in Python 3.3+, but not in Python 2.7.x (the one for building WebKit). I think we can try: - Patch our python-2.7.x like Ubuntu does. <https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/python2.7_2.7.10-4ubuntu1.diff.gz> - Patch the build phases of qt and webkitgtk to pre-generate *.pyc files before the actually building. Or disable parallel build completely. - Restart the builds on hydra, hope it will pass.
