Merge patches sent by Robert P. J. Day <rpjday@mindspring.com>.

Warning: the buildroot folks purposedly removed the skip-comment patch but didn't really said why. Keeping it for the sake of having it in svn just in case (removing it will be easier thant not having it at all).

+Raising the size of the hash table is a noticable win when linking 
+at least one large app.  
+
+There was a patch,
+http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils/2004-06/msg00165.html
+to do this dynamically.  No idea why that didn't make it in.
+So this tiny change to raise the default size is just
+a stopgap for now.

+
+This means that the unknown character is no longer ignored, despite the
+comment.  As a side effect a line starting with a line comment character
+not followed by APP in NO_APP mode now triggers an error instead of just a
+warning, breaking builds of glibc on m68k-linux.  Earlier in
+read_a_source_file where #APP is handled there is another comment that
+claims that unknown comments are ignored, when in fact they aren't (only
+the initial line comment character is skipped).
+
+Note that the presence of #APP will mess up the line counters, but
+that appears to be difficult to fix.
+
+Andreas.

+
+	* read.c (read_a_source_file): Ignore unknown text after line
+	comment character.  Fix misleading comment.
