Signed-off-by: dank@kegel.com 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. --- binutils-2.17/bfd/hash.c.old 2006-03-02 23:01:39.000000000 -0800 +++ binutils-2.17/bfd/hash.c 2006-03-02 23:01:58.000000000 -0800 @@ -298,7 +298,7 @@ */ /* The default number of entries to use when creating a hash table. */ -#define DEFAULT_SIZE 4051 +#define DEFAULT_SIZE 32749 static size_t bfd_default_hash_table_size = DEFAULT_SIZE; /* Create a new hash table, given a number of entries. */
