 - <h4 class="subsubsection">2.18.4.1 Define the derived structures</h4>
 - <p>You must define a structure for an entry in the hash table,
 - and a structure for the hash table itself.
 - </p>
 - <p>The first field in the structure for an entry in the hash
 - table must be of the type used for an entry in the hash table
 - you are deriving from.  If you are deriving from a basic hash
 - table this is <code>struct bfd_hash_entry</code>, which is defined in
 - <code>bfd.h</code>.  The first field in the structure for the hash
 - table itself must be of the type of the hash table you are
 - deriving from itself.  If you are deriving from a basic hash
 - table, this is <code>struct bfd_hash_table</code>.
 - </p>
 - <p>For example, the linker hash table defines <code>struct
 - bfd_link_hash_entry</code> (in <code>bfdlink.h</code>).  The first field,
 - <code>root</code>, is of type <code>struct bfd_hash_entry</code>.  Similarly,
 - the first field in <code>struct bfd_link_hash_table</code>, <code>table</code>,
 - is of type <code>struct bfd_hash_table</code>.
