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
Perhaps wrong example...
