division in ld scripts

[Jan Beulich]

Is it known/intended/documented that using the division operator (/) in
ld scripts requires a blank to follow, at least in some cases (see below)?
All other operators seem to behave as expected (apart from the missing
but unlikely to be needed ^), while / results in a "syntax error" failure.

Thanks, Jan
