 7.39 '.global SYMBOL', '.globl SYMBOL'
 ======================================
 
 '.global' makes the symbol visible to 'ld'.  If you define SYMBOL in
 your partial program, its value is made available to other partial
 programs that are linked with it.  Otherwise, SYMBOL takes its
 attributes from a symbol of the same name from another file linked into
 the same program.
 
    Both spellings ('.globl' and '.global') are accepted, for
 compatibility with other assemblers.
 
    On the HPPA, '.global' is not always enough to make it accessible to
 other partial programs.  You may need the HPPA-only '.EXPORT' directive
 as well.  HPPA Assembler Directives HPPA Directives.
