fixed missing finiteness condition on N.
Mar 24, 2017 at 9:39 comment added nfdc23 I'm sure there is a more direct elementary argument; that is just what first came to mind via general cohomological principles and inspired by the usual proof of compatibility of module-Ext with localization when the first argument of module-Ext is finitely presented (for a much wider cohomological context of the same, way beyond just on Spec of fields, see Prop. 4.18 and the associated footnote that are both stated without proof in Chapter I of the book of Freitag & Kiehl on etale cohomology, which focuses there on $n$-torsion sheaves).
Mar 24, 2017 at 9:31 comment added nfdc23 For any scheme $X$, $\mathscr{E}xt^{\bullet}_X(\mathscr{F}, \mathscr{G})$ is sheafification of $U\mapsto {\rm{Ext}}^{\bullet}_U(\mathscr{F}|_U,\mathscr{G}|_U)$ (univ. $\delta$-functor proof). Thus, for $X = {\rm{Spec}}(k)$, the $k_s$-stalk of such sheaf-Ext is direct limit of ${\rm{Ext}}_K^{\bullet}(\mathscr{F}_K,\mathscr{G}_K)$ ($K/k$ finite inside $k_s$), and the natural map from this to ${\rm{Ext}}^{\bullet}_{\rm{Ab}}(\mathscr{F}_{k_s}, \mathscr{G}_{k_s})$ is an isomorphism for lcc $\mathscr{F}$ by reduction to $\mathscr{F}=\mathbf{Z}$ and compatibility of cohomology with limits of schemes.
