[llvm-dev] Should we switch to --hash-style=both by default in LLD ?

However it was argued that this would generate ELF fiels that do not follow the ELF ABI. See here https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2017-07/msg00160.html Thus it has been chosen to use "both" rather than "gnu". Cheers, Romain

+1 for both table formats. Then we're compatible by default no matter what. If somebody cares about .o file size, they can explicitly specify their --hash-style.
