Go isn't linking my assembly: undefined external function

I'm trying to write some SIMD mostly for learning purposes. I know Go can link assembly, but I can't get it to work correctly.

Here's the most minimal example I can make (element-wise vector multiplication):

vec_amd64.s (note: the actual file has a whitespace line under RET since it causes errors otherwise)

// func mul(v1, v2 Vec4) Vec4
TEXT .mul(SB),4,$0-48
	MOVUPS v1+0(FP),  X0
	MOVUPS v2+16(FP), X1
	MULPS  X1, X0
    // also tried ret+32 since I've seen some places do that
	MOVUPS X0, toReturn+32(FP)
	RET

vec.go

package simd

type Vec4 [4]float32

func (v1 Vec4) Mul(v2 Vec4) Vec4 {
	return Vec4{v1[0] * v2[0], v1[1] * v2[1], v1[2] * v2[2], v1[3] * v2[3]}
}

func mul(v1, v2 Vec4) Vec4

simd_test.go

package simd

import (
	"testing"
)

func TestMul(t *testing.T) {
	v1 := Vec4{1, 2, 3, 4}
	v2 := Vec4{5, 6, 7, 8}

	res := v1.Mul(v2)
	res2 := mul(v1, v2)

    // Placeholder until I get it to compile
	if res != res2 {
		t.Fatalf("Expected %v; got %v", res, res2)
	}
}

When I try to run go test I get the error:

# testmain
simd.TestMul: call to external function simd.mul
simd.TestMul: undefined: simd.mul

The go env command reports my GOHOSTARCH to be amd64 and my Go version to be 1.3. To confirm it wasn't the architecture causing the problem, I found another package that uses assembly and deleted all the assembly files except the _amd64.s one and its tests ran fine.

I also tried changing it to an exported identifier in case that was causing weirdness, but no dice. I think I pretty closely followed the template in packages like math/big, so hopefully it's something simple and obvious that I'm missing.

I know that Go is at least trying to use the assembly because if I introduce a syntax error to the .s file the build tool will complain about it.

Edit:

To be clear, go build will compile cleanly, but go test causes the error to appear.

You are using the wrong dot. instead of

TEXT .mul(SB),4,$0-48

write

TEXT ·mul(SB),4,$0-48

and everything works just fine.
