`.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. *Note HPPA Assembler Directives: HPPA Directives.
