For each section within the @code{OVERLAY}, the linker automatically
-defines two symbols. The symbol @code{__load_start_@var{secname}} is
+provides two symbols. The symbol @code{__load_start_@var{secname}} is
defined as the starting load address of the section. The symbol
@code{__load_stop_@var{secname}} is defined as the final load address of
the section. Any characters within @var{secname} which are not legal
This will define both @samp{.text0} and @samp{.text1} to start at
address 0x1000. @samp{.text0} will be loaded at address 0x4000, and
@samp{.text1} will be loaded immediately after @samp{.text0}. The
-following symbols will be defined: @code{__load_start_text0},
+following symbols will be defined if referenced: @code{__load_start_text0},
@code{__load_stop_text0}, @code{__load_start_text1},
@code{__load_stop_text1}.
