Undefined symbols are a bad thing in general because they can get resolved in unexpected ways at runtime if multiple sources provide the same symbol name. For example both glibc and libtirpc may provide XDR symbols and we want to ensure that we resolve to libtirpc if that's what we originally built against. The toolchain maintainers thus strongly recommend that all applications use the '-z defs' linker flag to prevent undefined symbols. This is shortly becoming part of the default linker flags for RPMs. As an added benefit this aligns Linux builds with Windows builds, where the linker has never permitted undefined symbols.
