![]() Summary: In ld.bfd/gold, --no-allow-shlib-undefined is the default when linking an executable. This patch implements a check to error on undefined symbols in a shared object, if all of its DT_NEEDED entries are seen. Our approach resembles the one used in gold, achieves a good balance to be useful but not too smart (ld.bfd traces all DSOs and emulates the behavior of a dynamic linker to catch more cases). The error is issued based on the symbol table, different from undefined reference errors issued for relocations. It is most effective when there are DSOs that were not linked with -z defs (e.g. when static sanitizers runtime is used). gold has a comment that some system libraries on GNU/Linux may have spurious undefined references and thus system libraries should be excluded (https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6811). The story may have changed now but we make --allow-shlib-undefined the default for now. Its interaction with -shared can be discussed in the future.
