Thanks for doing that analysis.

One other (perhaps dumb) question: why limit yourself to a 32-bit hash
on machines with 64-bit addresses?  Since the application area
(linking executables) is already architecture dependent, is there a
downside to going with 64-bit hashes on such machines?

(Hope you don't mind the trivia questions from the peanut gallery....)
