https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2014-03/msg00033.html removes the
"magic" treatment of symbols defined in a .toc section.  This results
in glibc failing to build correctly on powerpc64.  Fixed as follows.
This change is compatible with older binutils.

(Discovering this glibc bug led me to revert the binutils change since
it's a bit rude to prevent older glibc from building, but glibc still
ought to be fixed.)

	* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/start.S: Add @toc to toc symbol reference.

The patch is ok, thanks Alan.
