After reading my previous message on this, I realize it is somewhat less than
coherent.  The .bss directive is basically the same as the .data or .text
directives, except that it (1) only calculates sizes and symbol offsets, and
doesn't generate any initializations, and (2) puts those symbols in the bss
csect, rather than the text or data csects.  You could probably figure that out
from my message and the suggestive name of the .bss directive, but I thought
I'd make it clear.
