Hi Dilyan,
with commit 4bdd3565f140 you have added to gas the option --hash-size
and documented it in gas/doc/as.texinfo with the snippet below. However,
neither "man 1 as" not "info gas" shows --hash-size as an option.
Please consider adding @item --hash-size=@var{number}, as it is done for
the other command line options.
Oops - sorry about that. It turns out that --hash-size was not added to
the synopsis at the start of this section either, so I have checked in
the patch below to fix both of these things. Thanks for pointing out
this problem.
Cheers
Nick

Set the default size of GAS's hash tables to a prime number close to
@var{number}. Increasing this value can reduce the length of time it
takes the
assembler to perform its tasks, at the expense of increasing the
