Bart De VOS pointed out that removing absolute paths from the libc linker scripts is plainly wrong.
It dates from dawn ages of the original crosstool code, and is not well explained. At that time, binutils might not understand the sysroot stuff, and it was necessary to remove absolute paths in that case.

     3 Raising the size of the hash table is a noticable win when linking 
     4 at least one large app.

     6 There was a patch,
     7 http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils/2004-06/msg00165.html
     8 to do this dynamically.  No idea why that didn't make it in.
     9 So this tiny change to raise the default size is just
    10 a stopgap for now.
