Re: [PATCH] Objcopy: use a hash table for symbol renaming

Hi Eirik,

Thanks for submitting this patch.  It is a good idea, but as Hans-Peter 
has pointed out it would be better to make use of the hashing functions 
that are already implemented in the libiberty library, rather than 
creating your own.

Also, with a change of this size, you will need to complete an FSF 
copyright assignment, so that we can make use of your code.  I have 
attached an emailable form which you can fill out in order to start this 
process.

Cheers
  Nick
