7.59 '.local NAMES'
===================
This directive, which is available for ELF targets, marks each symbol in
the comma-separated list of 'names' as a local symbol so that it will
not be externally visible. If the symbols do not already exist, they
will be created.
For targets where the '.lcomm' directive (
Lcomm) does not
accept an alignment argument, which is the case for most ELF targets,
the '.local' directive can be used in combination with '.comm' (
Comm) to define aligned local common data.
