+/**
+ * These two symbols are declared in a C file so that the linker
+ * uses R_ARM_RELATIVE relocation, rather than the R_ARM_ABS32 one
+ * it would use if the symbols were defined in the linker file.
+ * Using only R_ARM_RELATIVE relocation ensures that references to
+ * the symbols are correct after as well as before relocation.
+ *
+ * We need a 0-byte-size type for these symbols, and the compiler
+ * does not allow defining objects of C type 'void'. Using an empty
+ * struct is allowed by the compiler, but causes gcc versions 4.4 and
+ * below to complain about aliasing. Therefore we use the next best
+ * thing: zero-sized arrays, which are both 0-byte-size and exempt from
+ * aliasing warnings.
