result will be that undefined symbols in regular objects will
still trigger an error, but undefined symbols in shared objects
will be ignored. The implementation of no_undefined makes the
assumption that the runtime linker will choke on undefined
symbols. However there is at least one system (BeOS) where
undefined symbols in shared libraries is normal since the kernel
patches them at load time to select which function is most
appropriate for the current architecture. I.E. dynamically
select an appropriate memset function. Apparently it is also
normal for HPPA shared libraries to have undefined symbols. */
