Subject: [RESEND PATCH] depmod: Ignore PowerPC64 ABIv2 .TOC. symbol
Date: Thu, 03 Mar 2016 19:30:31 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1456993831.335.1.camel@ellerman.id.au> (raw)
From: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org>
The .TOC. symbol on the PowerPC64 ABIv2 identifies the GOT
pointer, similar to how other architectures use _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_.
This is not a symbol that needs relocation, and should be ignored
by depmod.
