PPCAsm says that neither Data_Start nor Data_Base_Address are known so I'm
stuck for now.

I copied the TOC definition DC.L TOC[TC0] from transition vectors. It seems
to emit the TOC base address just fine from inside a CSECT [DS] section.
But the executable code is wrapped in a CSECT [PR] section so it doesn't
work there as expected. TOC[TC0] seems to return an offset but I need the
absolute address of TOC.

Where can I ask for help on this? Code examples are difficult to find,
PPCAsm doc is brief and I'm bad at reading between the lines...
