Robert P. J. DAY says:
According to Mike Frysinger, this patch was removed from Gentoo in the
2.3.x series and didn't seem to cause any adverse effects. So toss it
from the patch directories for glibc 2.5 and up.

6 STABS hash table size change, backported from the binutils CVS tree. Here's
7 the CVS log comment for the original change:
10 date: 2005/12/29 10:29:23; author: nickc; state: Exp; lines: +2 -3
11 (_bfd_link_section_stabs): Use bfd_hash_table_init rather than
12 bfd_hash_table_init_n(...,251) so that the size of the hash table can be
13 controlled by the user.
15 Note that tunable hash table size changes were added after 2.15. The effect
16 of this change is to make bfd use its default hash table size for the stabs
