41 object files is laughably tiny compared to Chromium. For that, expect
something like 20,000. Also for comparison, Qt without the qtwebengine module
(which includes Chromium) is about 13,000 on Linux.
I don't know if Chromium uses exceptions nowadays. It didn't when it was still
KHTML and in the early years as WebKit. But it's grown so much and has so many
different components added, developed by different people and different
companies, that a great deal of it might.
