--- Comment #4 from Alan Modra <amodra at gmail dot com> ---
I meant by my testcase comment that gcc/testsuite/gcc.target/powerpc/pr60158.c
is a poor test because it does not seem to emit addresses to .data.rel.ro.local
or any other non-got section, on gcc-4.9, gcc-5 or master.  That means it isn't
testing that .fixup is emitted for the failing case found with gcc-4.8.2.  I
haven't investigated what is needed to write a proper testcase, but from
mailing list comments the trigger involves reload.  That makes it extremely
difficult to test.

If u-boot is failing, do you have any evidence that the cause is lack of
.fixup?  ie. can you see addresses in non-got sections?
