 `.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.
