+ The ".private.toc" sections are generated by the ppc bfd. The
+ .toc variable is generated by gas, and resolved here. It is
+ used to initialized function descriptors (and anyone else who
+ needs the address of the module's toc). The only thing
+ interesting about it at all? Most ppc instructions using it
+ have a 16bit displacement field. The convention for addressing
+ is to initialize the .toc value to 32K past the start of the
+ actual toc, and subtract 32K from all references, thus using
+ the entire 64K range. Naturally, the reloc code must agree
