I was following what Pango does, but from the description of -no-undefined, it
appears that you are correct:

------------------------------------------------------------
`--no-undefined'
`-z defs'
     Report unresolved symbol references from regular object files.
     This is done even if the linker is creating a non-symbolic shared
     library.  The switch `--[no-]allow-shlib-undefined' controls the
     behaviour for reporting unresolved references found in shared
     libraries being linked in.
------------------------------------------------------------

I will change it soon.

Regards,


Tony.
