I don't see it mentioned on the website that you need a special binutils
to build it. However, it does appear to be in KDE CVS, and Cooker does
appear to be a place to extensively test it, no? :)
I notice MandrakeSoft and SUSE are both mentioned as KDE supporters.
Obviously in MandrakeSoft's interest is the desktop user, and faster KDE
loading times may actually be a #1 requested feature. It was described on
the list KDE list as such, and as "Konqueror's main shortcoming".
Perhaps there is not enough time to test it for 8.1, I don't know, but I
haven't heard a freeze mentioned.
