In the short term, configuring GHC to use ld.bfd (from the PATH, no hardcoded path needed) makes sense. In the long term, it might make sense for gold to learn --hash-size. In that case, filing a report at http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/ product binutils, component gold, describing what GHC uses the option for, would be the way to go.
