..extern is almost a no-op in GNU assembler.  It declares a symbol
"undefined external".  However, whenever the assembler encounters an
unknown (yet) symbol, it automatically classifies it "undefined
external", so in effect, .extern is almost only a comment to the
reader of the program to declare the intentions of the developer.

What you want is called .global; it declares a symbol as being
publically available to the linker.  By default, a symbol is local to
the current module only, and not exported to the linker.
