This directive sets the descriptor of the symbol (see section 5.5 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.
