-mno-fp-in-toc, -mno-sum-in-toc, and -mminimal-toc are
compile-time options, not link-time options. I would highly recommend
just using -mminimal-toc.
You need to (re-)compile all of your object files with the option.
Those options will not fix anything at the link stage once you have
encountered the linker error.
The AIX linker provides the -bbigtoc option which you can invoke
from the GCC commandline using -Wl,-bbigtoc to pass an option to the
linker. -bbigtoc will fix up the linker error at link time, but has a
higher performance penalty than -mminimal-toc. -mminimal-toc has a
negligible performance impact.
