If the psect of a symbol is shown as (abs), this implies that the symbol is not directly
associated with a psect. Such is the case for absolute C variables, or any symbols that
are defined using an EQU directive in assembly.
Note that a symbol table is also shown in each assembler list file. (See
Section 4.8.16 “--ADDRQUAL: Set Compiler Response to Memory Qualifiers” for
information on generating these files.) These differ to that shown in the map file in that
they list also list local symbols, and only show symbols defined in the corresponding
module.
