It looks like you should be able to work around this now by upgrading gcc to
version 4.6.0, available from: http://gcc.gnu.org/.
>From http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.6/changes.html:
PowerPC64 GNU/Linux support for applications requiring a large TOC section has
been improved. A new command-line option, -mcmodel=MODEL, controls this
feature; valid values for MODEL are small, medium, or large.
Note that you may also need to upgrade binutils as well. The latest available
version of binutils is currently 2.21. It is available from:
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/binutils/.
Reference: http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=41644#c11.
Let us know how this works out for you.
