         o <<sym_ptr_ptr>>
 
         The symbol table pointer points to a pointer to the symbol
-        associated with the relocation request.  It is
-        the pointer into the table returned by the back end's
-        <<get_symtab>> action. @xref{Symbols}. The symbol is referenced
-        through a pointer to a pointer so that tools like the linker
-        can fix up all the symbols of the same name by modifying only
-        one pointer. The relocation routine looks in the symbol and
-        uses the base of the section the symbol is attached to and the
-        value of the symbol as the initial relocation offset. If the
-        symbol pointer is zero, then the section provided is looked up.
