sym value zero is useless?

Hi guys.
Symbol with zero value in relocation section, is that mean that symbol is useless?


Relocation section '.rel.eh_frame' at offset 0x79f0 contains 8 entries:
Offset Info Type Sym.Value Sym. Name
00000020 00000202 R_386_PC32 00000000 .text
00000040 00000202 R_386_PC32 00000000 .text
00000068 00000202 R_386_PC32 00000000 .text
00000088 00000202 R_386_PC32 00000000 .text
000000a8 00000202 R_386_PC32 00000000 .text
000000c8 00000202 R_386_PC32 00000000 .text
000000f0 00000202 R_386_PC32 00000000 .text
00000110 00000202 R_386_PC32 00000000 .text
