Avoids toc overflow conditions in 64-bit compilations by placing toc entries into a separate data section for each object file.
.-nominimaltoc-. >>- -q--+-minimaltoc---+---------------------------------------><
This compiler option applies to 64-bit compilations only.
Programs compiled in 64-bit mode have a limit of 8192 toc entries. As a result, you may encounter "relocation truncation" error messages when linking large programs in 64-bit mode. You can avoid such toc overflow errors by compiling with the -qminimaltoc option.
Compiling with -qminimaltoc may create slightly slower and larger code for your program. However, these effects may be minimized by specifying optimizing options when compiling your program.
