defining a symbol only for calculations

[Guilherme Destefani]

Hello,

In a linker script, it is possible to define variables and use them in
calculations, like
VAR = ABSOLUTE(.);
and
LONG(VAR);

Those variables are always added to the symbol table on the ELF file
(.symtab).

It is possible to define variables without adding them to the symbol
table, just for temporary use?

Thanks in advance,
