    The ld time was dominated by symbol table processing, so
      * increase hash table size
      * emit fewer symbols in gc (just 1 per string, 1 per type)
      * add read-only lookup to avoid creating spurious symbols
      * add linked list to speed whole-table traversals
    
    Breaks dwarf generator (no idea why), so disable dwarf.
    
    Reduces time for 6l to link godoc by 25%.
