+* A new linker command line switch has been added which allows the hash table
+ size to be set to a suitable prime value near to its argument. This switch
+ is --hash-size=<NUMBER>. Also if the switch --reduce-memory-overheads is
+ used, and --hash-size has not been used, then the default value will be set
+ to 1021.
+
* Linker map files are now generated with an O(N) algorithm for finding symbols
that are defined in each section. This uses about 40% more memory for
symbols than the old O(N^2) algorithm. You can use the new
--reduce-memory-overheads option to select the old algorithm; this option
might also be used in the future to select similar tradeoffs.
+Changes in 2.15:

* New PE --large-address-aware option to indicate executables support virtual
addresses greater than 2 gigabytes.
