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`.
