I would assume the building time on such a machine will be somewhere within 5-14 days (no sarcasm). Use the flatpak or a binary from the AUR

I would not say that necessarily. I asked the Gentoo people and they had similar setups with 12h. At 4GB ram it’ll mainly come down to swapping, so disk speed.
If the 5 days were you experience, was it using a slow hdd?

Someone told me that Chromium builds for 2 days on a modern system. I know that Librewolf is smaller but the OP’s system is much slower so that’s how I assumed the build time
