Need -un-initialized memory allocation

Hello List!
I looked for a directive that allocates uninitialized memory, but didn't
find any. What I want is something like
Symbol1: <reserve 0x10000 longwords>
Symbol2: <reserve 200 bytes>
...
So the only effect would be the definition of the symbols.
All directives I have found (e. g. .space) initialize the memory to
zeroes, leading to a huge object file.
Thanks,
Anton.
