Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nasm
Package: nasm_0.98.38-1.2build1_i386.deb
When the global directive appears after the symbol, it is no longer
exported as global in ELF format.
cat >bug.s <<EOF
mystart:
global mystart:function
EOF
nasm -f elf bug.s
nm bug.o
Output:
00000000 t mystart
But it should display:
00000000 T mystart
With an uppercase T, to show that it's global.
Everything works fine when the global directive appears before the
symbol (ie when the 2 lines are swapped).
An alternative fix would be to throw an error telling the user that the
global directive came too late, and that it should appear before the
symbol.
