+Subject: [PATCH] [CMake] Values of CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE from toolchain file are
+ ignored https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=179971
+
+Reviewed by Carlos Alberto Lopez Perez.
+
+* CMakeLists.txt: Call project() first, as it loads the toolchain
+file, so that's done before checking CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE.
