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
