__ld_insert_kernel_bss_refs outputs references to the BSS section in the
format defined in
<A HREF="$$LINK(insert_kernel_relocs)">__ld_insert_kernel_relocs</A>. The
only difference is that the <I>relocation address</I> is not the entry point
of the program but the beginning of the BSS section.
<BR><BR>
If you insert these references, the linker assumes that the BSS section is
handled by you; that is, you have to allocate it dynamically using
<A HREF="$$LINK(symbols_ld_bss_size)">__ld_bss_size</A> and use a pointer to
it as the <I>relocation address</I>.

<B>Note:</B> The limitations of
<A HREF="$$LINK(insert_kernel_relocs)">__ld_insert_kernel_relocs</A> also
apply to this insertion.
