Are there any instructions on how to do this? I tried and failed several times, just not familiar enough with the Linux build system :)

Actually, as odd as it sounds, I bought extra RAM for my computer specifically to be able to compile things with LTO... GCC 4.7 vastly reduces memory usage of LTO but no, Chromium still does not fit ;)

i don't know of any public instructions for LTO'ing linux, i had to work it out myself. it needs a somewhat ugly 50k patch including a gcc plugin (on top of PaX which has the gcc plugin build infrastructure).

And it has a respectable name attached to it! I'll give it a try, thanks!
