Nobits is what I want indeed. In assembler sources I can do:

        .section .cpulocal, "aw", @nobits
        foo: .long

and I get
        .cpulocal     00000004  00000000  00000000  000000ba  2**0
                      ALLOC

But how can I achieve the same for C sources? When I write:

        unsigned foo __attribute__((section (".cpulocal")));

I get
        .cpulocal     00000004  00000000  00000000  00000034  2**2
                      CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, DATA

Thanks,

	- Udo
