In qtwebkit we are using -Wl,--no-keep-memory [1]. Maybe it will help you too?
(Honestly I don't know why it is a patch and not a line in debian/rules.)

You should not add any of these packages.

The compiler flags of the failing command -mfloat-abi=hard. It is a bug
in qtwebengine build system: on armel the float abi is soft, not hard.
