University of Wisconsin
>Environment:
System: FreeBSD anacreon.physics.wisc.edu 9.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 9.0-CURRENT #3 r208870:208872: Sun Jun 6 09:33:03 CDT 2010 root@anacreon.physics.wisc.edu:/usr/obj/scratch/src/sys/ANACREON powerpc64
>Description:
The powerpc64 ABI uses a table of contents structure holding a maximum of
65,000 elements per library, which GTK2-webkit overflows by default. Binutils
2.15 is incapable of rectifying this with several default optimizations
turned on, resulting in webkit failing to link on this platform.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
The attached patch reduces the size of the TOC to fit within its bounds by
adding -mminimal-toc to CFLAGS on powerpc64.
