 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.
