Hi Dilyan,

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

  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 
assembler's
