glandium explained that --enable-debug-symbols is valid in a --disable-debug build -- we include debug symbols by default, even in --disable-debug builds, so that gdb works. Using --enable-debug-symbols=-gsplit-dwarf in an opt build gets my JS shell link time down to less than 4 seconds. Yay! Thanks, glandium.
