Have the glibc build use the cross-objdump, rather than the host one.
On some distros (eg. Fedora), the native objdump can not interpret objects not for the native system, and thus fail.
This commit adds a new patch against glibc-2.7 that introduces OBJDUMP_FOR_HOST, wich, if set, overides the detected objdump.

Note: bizarely enough, glibc already has code to detect the cross-objdump, but that does not work for an unknown reason... :-(

     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.
