Thanks to this GNU ld bug:
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13049 , building with a
recent GNU ld (>= 2.21.1 are affected for sure, not sure about older
ones ; 2.19 is definitely not affected) on ARM leads to a crash.

Work around recent ARM GNU ld bug with -fdata-sections and variables names starting with "stub" leading to crash

A workaround is to avoid using variables with a name starting with
"stub".

js/src/jsdhash.cpp has the same variable name, but as it is compiled as
C++, its name is mangled and thus doesn't start with "stub".

It's not only a problem for us. It's a problem for those that use GNU ld
on ARM.

Since pldhash is jsdhash, can we just compile it as C++ and move on?

For the record, this requires a clobber to build successfully, or else you'll get errors like:
> make[8]: *** No rule to make target `pldhash.c', needed by `pldhash.o'.  Stop.

(noting here in case any devs / projec-branch-owners encounter this
error and do a bugzilla search to see if it's reported anywhere)
