             Bug #: 14151
           Summary: get rid of ASM_GLOBAL_DIRECTIVE
           Product: glibc
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: libc
        AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
        ReportedBy: roland@gnu.org

    Classification: Unclassified


We require fairly recent binutils and don't attempt to support non-GNU
assemblers.  GAS recognizes both .globl and .global regardless of machine.
So we can just use .globl (I prefer it to .global since .globl is the original
traditional syntax).

This could be done in multiple stages but probably isn't worth the trouble.
1. Remove the configure test and just define the macro unconditionally either
in config.h.in or in libc-symbols.h.
2. Remove all uses of the macro.
3. Remove the macro.
