I highly doubt that would help.
With fat LTO, compilation is normal compilation with some LTO streaming,
generally it shouldn't take much more compile time memory than non-LTO
compilation except for the memory for the LTO data sections.
I believe webkitgtk problem is compile time memory during linking which
has the exact same memory problem for fat as for non-fat LTO, i686 has
the hard 4GiB - epsilon virtual memory limit and if some partition is too
large, it simply doesn't fit anymore.
While for the compilation step you'd need to have some single source file
which would run into the 4GiB memory limits, that is also possible but much
less likely.
