Of course, the script needs to be smart, because e.g. glibc will always

It's sufficient to consider references only, definitions don't count. I believe Eric's script does exactly that. (symboldb has separate tables for ELF definitions and references, too.)

In fact, it turns out the glibc-common match I reported is *not* a false positive:

        file        |  symbol
--------------------+----------
 /usr/bin/iconv     | __fxstat
 /usr/bin/iconv     | __xstat
 /usr/bin/locale    | __fxstat
 /usr/bin/locale    | __xstat
 /usr/bin/localedef | __fxstat
 /usr/bin/localedef | __lxstat
 /usr/bin/localedef | __xstat
 /usr/bin/rpcgen    | __xstat
 /usr/bin/sprof     | __fxstat
