```console
$ cat > test.asm <<EOF
EXTERN my_symbol_near:NEAR
EXTERN my_symbol_far:FAR
EOF
$ build/bin/llvm-ml -m64 -c -F test.obj test.asm
test.asm:1:32: error: unrecognized type in directive 'extern'
EXTRN my_symbol_near: NEAR
^
test.asm:2:31: error: unrecognized type in directive 'extern'
EXTRN my_symbol_far: FAR
^
```
[`EXTERN`](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/assembler/masm/extern-masm?view=msvc-170) is defined as:
```
extern name:type {,name:type...}
```
The _type_ for symbols is documented by Microsoft to be [`ABS`](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/assembler/masm/operator-abs?view=msvc-170) or [`PROC`](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/assembler/masm/proc?view=msvc-170), but I've found other documents noting:
> Type may be any of `near`, `far`, `proc`, `byte`, `word`, `dword`, `qword`, `tbyte`, `abs` (absolute, which is a constant), or some other user defined type.
I'm interested in support for `near`.
