As per section 4.2.2 of the PowerPC ELFv2 ABI, this value tells the dynamic linker which optimizations it is allowed to do. Specifically, the higher order bit of the two tells the dynamic linker that there may be multiple TOC pointers in the binary. When we resolve any NOTOC relocations during linking, we need to set this value because we may be calling TOC functions from NOTOC functions when the NOTOC function already clobbered the TOC pointer. In practice, this ensures that the PLT resolver always resolves the call to the GEP (global entry point) of the TOC function (which will set up the TOC for the TOC function).

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called "LLVM". This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
