Robert P. J. DAY says:

apparently, the patchset for gcc 4.2.1 applies properly to the
source for gcc 4.2.2 and gcc 4.2.3. so, if you want, you can simply
add support for those last two just by augmenting menuconfig and
adding a couple symlinks for those two directories. seems like a
cheap way to add a couple new versions.

     3 Raising the size of the hash table is a noticable win when linking 
     4 at least one large app.

     6 There was a patch,
     7 http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils/2004-06/msg00165.html
     8 to do this dynamically.  No idea why that didn't make it in.
     9 So this tiny change to raise the default size is just
    10 a stopgap for now.
