--- Comment #2 from Avinash Jayakar <avinashd at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
I think -mminimal-toc uses the mcmodel=small, which restricts the load offsets
by 16 bits. For larger data in globals mcmodel=medium(32 bits) or
mcmodel=large(64 bits) could be used.
But when i use mcmodel=small instead of mminimal-toc, I see just warnings:
/tmp/ccGr4a2L.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/ccGr4a2L.s: Warning: TOC section size exceeds 64k
Surya/Michael, what should be ideally happening in case where global data
exceeds the offset range addressable by mcmodel, should the compiler throw an
error?
