A function symbol may set a value in the st_other field to indicate
the TOC should be treated as caller-saved. The linker should ensure the
current TOC is saved before calling it and restore the TOC afterwards,
much like external calls.
This is necessary for supporting V2 ABI static calls that do not
preserve the TOC.
