Summary: Compiler module doesn't handle global statement correctly

Initial Comment:
If we don't use the compiler module:

>>> code = 'global x\nx=1'
>>> d1={'__builtins__': {}}; d2={}; exec code in d1, d2
>>> d1, d2
({'__builtins__': {}, 'x': 1}, {})

with the compiler module:

>>> code = compiler.compile('global x\nx=1', 'd', 'exec') 
>>> d1={'__builtins__': {}}; d2={}; exec code in d1, d2
>>> d1, d2
({'__builtins__': {}}, {'x': 1})

global is ignored

Hi, I have submitted a simple fix some time ago
python.org/sf/1090482, do you think it is correct?
