 7.17 '.desc SYMBOL, ABS-EXPRESSION'
 ===================================
 
 This directive sets the descriptor of the symbol (Symbol
 Attributes) to the low 16 bits of an absolute expression.
 
    The '.desc' directive is not available when 'as' is configured for
 COFF output; it is only for 'a.out' or 'b.out' object format.  For the
 sake of compatibility, 'as' accepts it, but produces no output, when
 configured for COFF.
