That does seem to fix it (though the TOC-size warnings are still
there). But as I remarked to Aditya,

(1) that's quite an unacceptable answer when there is no documentation
about the requirement, and

(2) I don't really see why users should have to specify something that
the build process can easily infer for itself.

Perhaps more to the point though:

(3) the previous patch version worked without this. So I don't
believe this requirement is necessary.
