Hi Renato,
If I am understanding you correctly, then the answer is no, because .s
output doesn't care about relocations per se... BUT..
its also yes because sometimes, the asmwriter will sometimes need to
generate sequences like below

foo:
   movw r0, :lower16:bar-foo
   movt r0, :upper16:bar-foo

The subtraction implies that the value bar-foo is implicitly
pc-relative (at least according to GNU as).

Thanks!
