Subject: [PATCH] cmd/link: split large elf text sections for ppc64x
Some applications built with Go on ppc64x with
external linking can fail to link with relocation
truncation errors, due to the way that the golang
compiler generates a single go.o file containing
a single large text section to send to the GNU
linker. If the size of the single text section is
greater than 2^26, this can lead to link errors
due to 24 bit offset field in the bl (call)
instruction.
This fix solves the problem by splitting into
multiple text sections when this limit is reached.
When this is done then the GNU linker can fix the
long calls and insert jump tables where needed.
