Difference between .comm and .globl + .zerofill

Hello,

What is the practical difference between the following two (assembler) declarations, apart from the fact that the former cannot be used in dynamic libraries and the latter can be?

.text
.align 2
.comm   _a, 4

and

.globl _a
.data
.zerofill __DATA, __common, _a, 4, 2

Thanks,
