Several folks have informed me the gcc option "-mminimal-toc" will
help out. I grunted thru this problem back in Jan '93, and I didn't
know about "-mminimal-toc", only "-mno-fp-in-toc". If "-mminimal-toc"
existed back then, then I wasted a whole heck of alot of time trying
out IBM suggestion. I posted to comp.unix.aix in 5/93 and nobody
suggested it then, so maybe it's a more recent gcc option. I'm glad
it's fixed, either way.
