Each module has its own value for the toc-pointer (I understand module is an overloaded term in compilers, here I am using it to mean the executable is a module and each shared object is a module). Anytime we //potentially// cross module boundaries the toc-pointer will need to be saved and later restored. From the static linkers perspective, any time the target of a call needs to be resolved by the dynamic linker the call should be followed by a toc-restore.
