 - <a name="index-expressions"></a>
 - <a name="index-arithmetic"></a>
 - <p>The syntax for expressions in the linker script language is identical to
 - that of C expressions.  All expressions are evaluated as integers.  All
 - expressions are evaluated in the same size, which is 32 bits if both the
 - host and target are 32 bits, and is otherwise 64 bits.
 - </p>
 - <p>You can use and set symbol values in expressions.
 - </p>
 - <p>The linker defines several special purpose builtin functions for use in
 - expressions.
