I have access to programs that overflow the TOC even with section
anchors (this is with a modified PPC64 linux ABI in that pointers are
32bits so it takes even more to overflow the TOC).  I have noticed
that the linker does not combine duplicated TOC entries across objects
which makes it even easier to overflow the TOC.
