On PowerPC64, when a function call offset is too large to encode in a call instruction the address is stored in a table in the data segment. A thunk is used to load the branch target address from the table relative to the TOC-pointer and indirectly branch to the callee. When linking position-dependent code the addresses are stored directly in the table, for position-independent code the table is allocated and filled in at load time by the dynamic linker. For position-independent code the branch targets could have gone in the .got.plt but using the .branch_lt section for both position dependent and position independent binaries keeps it consitent and helps keep this PPC64 specific logic seperated from the target-independent code handling the .got.plt.
