Description Nathan Whitehorn freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2010-06-09 16:00:15 UTC
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.

Fix: The attached patch reduces the size of the TOC to fit within its bounds by
adding -mminimal-toc to CFLAGS on powerpc64.
