Nios SDK - understanding nm output

[tns1]

Where can I find an explanation of the prefix codes in an nm generated
symbol table? I see entries such as 'F' which are not described in the
standard GNU manuals.

man nm

"A" The symbol's value is absolute, and will not be
changed by further linking.

"B" The symbol is in the uninitialized data section
(known as BSS).

"C" The symbol is common. Common symbols are uninitial­
ized data. When linking, multiple common symbols
may appear with the same name. If the symbol is
defined anywhere, the common symbols are treated as
undefined references.
