What's your CPU and how much RAM? Even on my older system I had (an
4-core i5 2500K) libreoffice took like 2 hours or so to build.

IIRC, dev-qt/qtwebengine is one of the heaviest when it comes to build
times.
Anyway, a nice way to cut down on build times is to build on tmpfs. To
do that however with heavy packages like that, I had to upgrade to 32GB
RAM. There was a large price drop in the memory market a couple months
ago, so I snatched a 32GB DDR4 3600 kit (2x16GB) for like 80€. So now
with plenty of RAM, I configured a 14GB tmpfs in /var/tmp/portage. I
never hit swap when emerging.
