My improvements were closer to 5%. I use VS2013's amd64_x86 cross-compiler. I 
didn't touch the -FS flag (I imagine it just becomes meaningless).

Debug build, before: build 17:06, objdir 3.83GB
Debug build, -Z7:    build 16:06, objdir 5.22GB
Opt build, before:   build 17:47, objdir 3.01GB
Opt build, -Z7:      build 16:59, objdir 4.43GB

I used the opt Z7 build for a bug investigation and, at least at first glance, 
I didn't notice any problems with the debugging information.
