Subject: depmod: Ignore PowerPC64 ABIv2 .TOC. symbol
X-Git-Tag: v23~7

depmod: Ignore PowerPC64 ABIv2 .TOC. symbol

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.
