One more question - the older version had a construct "DEFINED (.TOC.) ?
.TOC. : ..." in case .TOC. is not defined (too old ld? too old gcc?) but the
newer patch seems assuming it is always defined, when was it added? I have
the same check in SLOF, for example, do I still need it?
.TOC. symbol support was first added 2012-11-06, so you need
binutils-2.24 or later to use .TOC. as a symbol.
As of today, minimum requirement to build kernel is binutils 2.23, see
