Subject: [RESEND RESEND PATCH] depmod: Ignore PowerPC64 ABIv2 .TOC. symbol
Date: Fri, 10 Jun 2016 15:24:30 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1465536270.26682.11.camel@ellerman.id.au> (raw)

From: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org>

The .TOC. symbol on the PowerPC64 ABIv2 identifies the GOT
pointer, similar to how other architectures use _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_.

This is not a symbol that needs relocation, and should be ignored
by depmod.
