	One definitely can store data directly in the TOC.  GCC does this
for floating-point constants, but does not know how to do this for normal
variables nor on a variable-by-variable basis.  If one always accesses the
data through assembly language, this will not be a problem.  The PPC64 ABI
specifically provides examples of accessing data directly stored in the
TOC.
