111<dt><code>.refsym</code></dt>
112<dd><p>This directive instructs assembler to add an undefined reference to
113the symbol following the directive.  The maximum symbol name length is
1141023 characters.  No relocation is created for this symbol; it will
115exist purely for pulling in object files from archives.  Note that
116this reloc is not sufficient to prevent garbage collection; use a
117KEEP() directive in the linker file to preserve such objects.
118</p>
119<a name="index-mspabi_005fattribute-directive_002c-MSP430"></a>
120</dd>
121<dt><code>.mspabi_attribute</code></dt>
122<dd><p>This directive tells the assembler what the MSPABI build attributes for this
123file are.  This is used for validating the command line options passed to
124the assembler against the options the original source file was compiled with.
125The expected format is:
126&lsquo;<samp>.mspabi_attribute tag_name, tag_value</samp>&rsquo;
127For example, to set the tag <code>OFBA_MSPABI_Tag_ISA</code> to <code>MSP430X</code>:
128&lsquo;<samp>.mspabi_attribute 4, 2</samp>&rsquo;
129</p>
130<p>See the <cite>MSP430 EABI, document slaa534</cite> for the details on tag names and
131values.
