I think that it would be clearer if the entire expression was enclosed 
inside a single set of parentheses.  Ie:

    .word var(GOTABS-.LPIC0+4)

Allowing white space would make it easier to read as well:

    .word var(GOTABS - .LPIC0 + 4)

Cheers

I disagree; var(GOTABS) is nicely parallel with var(GOT).  It's even a sensible
relocation, although I don't think there's an assigned relocation number for it
(without the PREL part).
