Using "extern" or "required" after the definition should be
interpreted as "global", just as if "extern" or "required" had been
specified before the definition.
Unfortunately the code did not correctly handle the case of upgrading
from LOCAL to GLOBAL via an EXTERN or REQUIRED directive, only from
EXTERN or REQUIRED to GLOBAL via definition or a GLOBAL or COMMON
directive.
Fix.

Many many developers all over the net respect NASM for what it is:
a widespread (thus netwide), portable (thus netwide!), very flexible
and mature assembler tool with support for many output formats (thus netwide!!).
Now we have good news for you: NASM is licensed under the "simplified"
(2-clause) BSD license.
This means its development is open to even wider society of programmers
wishing to improve their lovely assembler.
