In man ld you can see: <cut> --enable-new-dtags --disable-new-dtags This linker can create the new dynamic tags in ELF. But the older ELF systems may not understand them. If you specify --enable-new-dtags, the dynamic tags will be created as needed. If you specify --dis‐ able-new-dtags, no new dynamic tags will be created. By default, the new dynamic tags are not created. Note that those options are only available for ELF systems. Set the default size of the linker

By default, the new dynamic tags are not created. Note that those options are only available for ELF systems. Set the default size of the linkers hash tables to a prime number close to number. Increasing this value can reduce the length of time it takes the linker to perform its tasks, at the expense of increasing the linkers memory requirements. Similarly reducing this value can reduce the memory requirements at the expense of speed. <cut> And I think it should be: <cut> --enable-new-dtags --disable-new-dtags This linker can create the new dynamic tags in ELF.

If you specify --dis‐ able-new-dtags, no new dynamic tags will be created. By default, the new dynamic tags are not created. Note that those options are only available for ELF systems. --hash-size=number Set the default size of the linkers hash tables to a prime number close to number.

Similarly reducing this value can reduce the memory requirements at the expense of speed. <cut> The second paragraph is describing the --hash-size option, but does not say so.

it does look that way ... i'll double check with upstream
they've fixed this upstream, thanks for the report
