Idle thought: can you build Google Chrome's `chrome` binary from Chromium source code, verbatim? Is this documented anywhere? If not, isn't this an LGPL violation, since it embeds Blink which is LGPL-licensed?

I have, which section are you referring to? #2 " If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library" #6 "As an exception to the Sections above... ?
Read section #6 again. 6a) "If the work is an executable linked with the Library, with the complete [...] object code and/or source code, so that the user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified executable containing the modified Library."

6b) "Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the Library." Google does neither 6a nor 6b, if /opt/google/chrome/chrome contains proprietary bits and cannot be built entirely from Chromium source.
