You got the bad test case. Please try the following:

$ cat f.c
#include <stdio.h>
int g;

int foo(int a, int b)
{
   g = a + b;
   printf("&g = 0x%x, foo = 0x%x\n", &g, foo);
   return g;
}

$ cat e.c
int g;
extern int foo(int a, int b);

int main(void)
{
   foo(1, 2);
   return 0;
}

$ gcc -shared -fPIC -Wl,-soname,./libf.so,-Map,f.map -o libf.so f.c
$ gcc -o e e.c -ldl -L. -lf
$ ./e
&g = 0x600a30, foo = 0x294a2614

Then comment out the "int g;" in e.c. and do the same steps as above:

$ ./e
&g = 0x58294948, foo = 0x58094614

You can see that "C-A" is *not* a constant. Your premise is wrong.
