Some versions of libstdc++ (in Fedora 18) create symbol references to

What causes this on the libstdc++ side?  What would be a better name
for the binding type?
$ c++filt _ZNSs4_Rep20_S_empty_rep_storageE
std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char>
::_Rep::_S_empty_rep_storage

It's an static empty string set all to 0s.
See /usr/include/c++/*/bits/basic_string.tcc

That's the definition. I'm just curious what causes the reference to the symbol to have this strange LOOS+0 (vendor extension) symbol binding type.

Hmm. I've got a theory. STB_LOOS+0 is STB_GNU_UNIQUE, so the GNU ELF extension detection just doesn't work in this case. This is a property of the DSO, and probably not related to libstdc++.
