--- Comment #2 from Alan Modra <amodra at gmail dot com> --- Created attachment 33504 --> https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=33504&action=edit this moves constants from the toc to rodata For -mcmodel=medium it is just as efficient to load a constant from .rodata as it is from .toc, so keep all constants out of the TOC. (FP is already excluded by defauls selected for -mcmodel=medium). These constants are actually put into .rodata.cst8, so there is some chance they might be merged with an identical constant in another object file, which is a win over putting them in .toc. Also, this means .toc should only contain addresses, necessary for the current ppc64 linux kernel that wants to relocate .toc en masse.
