Some versions of libstdc++ (in Fedora 18) create symbol references to 
_ZNSs4_Rep20_S_empty_rep_storageE@GLIBCXX_3.4 with an ELF binding type 
of LOOS+0 (according to eu-readelf).

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>

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++.
