Well, in this example var2 will not be allocated at all.
So, once allocated var1 will do all the job.
This will work !
(at least it works in libc:)
Obviously you can define your own section and put vars there.
define a section like '.bss' :
.section .mysection, "aw", @nobits
or
type __attribute__ ((section (".mysection, "aw", @nobits;"))) a,b,c;
then pass the section address to the linker.
