I had to do this:

https://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs/gcc?view=revision&revision=251275

The main issue was that I didn't define RS6000_ABI_NAME, so 
SUBTARGET_OVERRIDE_OPTIONS() from sysv4.h selected ABI_V4. This triggered:

   if (flag_pic > 1 && DEFAULT_ABI == ABI_V4)      \
     {                                    \
       /* Note: flag_pic should not change any option flags that would    \
      be invalid with or pessimise -fno-PIC code.  LTO turns off    \
      flag_pic when linking/recompiling a fixed position executable. \
      However, if the objects were originally compiled with -fPIC,  \
      then other target options forced on here by -fPIC are restored \
      when recompiling those objects without -fPIC.  In particular  \
      TARGET_RELOCATABLE must not be enabled here by flag_pic.  */  \
       rs6000_isa_flags |= OPTION_MASK_MINIMAL_TOC;            \
       TARGET_NO_FP_IN_TOC = 1;                        \
     }

The minimal TOC option apparently didn't work well for the crtbeginS.o.

With this patch I am now able to build RTEMS with the FreeBSD network 
stack utilizing > 4GiB of RAM on a T4240. Segher, thanks for your kind 
help. Without your help I would still struggle with the GCC configuration.
