 ### Preallocated Symbols
 
-By far, preallocated symbols are highly compatible with the previous versions, so
-we expect you won't see any problem with them. But just in case you face any
-issue, you can disable preallocated symbols by specifying `conf.disable_presym`.
-
-In the build process, `mrbc` under cross compiling environment will be compiled
-with this configuration.
+Preallocated symbols are always enabled. Symbol IDs used in C source code
+(via `MRB_SYM()` etc.) are resolved to compile-time constants during the
+build process.
