... However now I am rebuilding Qt - I believe this one will be far more telling since it's big (250 MB in resulted RPMs), in C++ and my stock F-12 machine needed 2h to finish the task when built with F-12 binutils.
ld: CVS snapshot from date: 20100309 Package: qt-4.5.3-7.fc12 Time: 2:05:21 Size: 258M Status: PASS
ld: binutils-2.19.51.0.14-37.fc12 (likely, just a guess) Package: qt-4.5.3-7.fc12 Time: 2:03:13 Size: 255M Status: PASS
