Obsoletes the powerpc-unknown-linux-gnuspe sample, so remove it.

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.
