>From the gABI:

STT_OBJECT
                  The symbol is associated with a data object, such as a variable,
                  an array, and so on.

STT_FUNC
                  The symbol is associated with a function or other executable
                  code.

_PROCEDURE_LINKAGE_TABLE_ in this case is "other executable code", and not a "data
object", so I think it should be STT_FUNC.
