The expressions passed here should contain either constants or symbols,

not a combination of both. Typically, the constant pool is accessed
with some sort of GP register, so the size of the pool must be kept down
if possible. The exception is section offsets -- if you're storing a
pointer to the start of .data, for example, and your machine provides
for 16-bit signed addends, you might want to store .data+32K, so that
you can access all of the first 64K of .data with the one pointer... */

This isn't a requirement, just a guideline that can help keep .o file
