That took a bit longer than expected. With the latest binutils from
experimental I was still unable to link chromium: ld failed with the
message 'Memory exhausted'. I came up the following solution: reduce
the amount of debug information to line numbers only. Passing
'-gline-tables-only' to clang does the job, see fourth attached patch.
With all patches applied I can successfully build chromium.

I've updated the first patch to include defining DEB_HOST_ARCH in
debian/rules if undefined, as suggested by the man page of
dpkg-buildflags.

Best, Joost
