[Bug gold/5990] New: running out of file descriptors when linking >1024 files

[me at cgf dot cx]

When trying to link a binary which takes a large number of files, I get many
errors like this:

ld-new: cannot open ../driver/ic/via/sinai/mlxhh/obj/1/mcgm.o: Too many open 
files

This is coming from Read_symbols::do_read_symbols.

I can obviously work around the problem by increasing the number of allowed open
file desriptors.
