Try compiling the source with one of the TOC minimizing flags.
Try first with -mno-fp-in-toc, then -mno-sum-in-toc, then both.
Each should reduce the size of the TOC somewhat, and hopefully 
squeeze it into the 65536 maximum.

If no combination of these works, compile with -mminimal-toc.  This 
will definitely fit.
