I turned on the DISTRO_FEATURE ld-is-gold and rebuild my toolchain and
then webkit-gtk, but there was no improvement in build time (I'm
attributing a 20s difference in build time to noise considering the
build was 24 minutes).  Is there something else I need to change, as I
was expecting WebKit would be a good winner with this.
