Syntax: .global 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. .xdef is also accepted as a
synonym for .global.
