I updated redhat-rpm-config to instruct ld to reject linking shared
objects with undefined symbols.  Such undefined symbols break symbol
versioning because the are not necessarily bound to the correct symbol
version at run time.  (rhbz#1535422)

So this break all the PHP stack build...

(all php extensions are dl open plugins, relying on symbol from the engine)

I think the -z defs change should be reverted.  It breaks very long-
standing expected behaviour of linkers and there's been no proper
justification for doing it.

Other than detecting cases where shared libraries were missing
NEEDED entries for other shared objects that they use?

I can't remember now what it's called but there's another way to do
that which all other distros except Fedora use.


-Wl,--as-needed and -Wl,--no-undefined

c.f.: http://gitweb.mageia.org/software/rpm/rpm-setup/tree/build.macros.in#n221

openSUSE uses the same approach, but apparently the file doesn't
render on their VCS due to not being UTF-8. :/

But --no-undefined is a synonym for -z defs! They are literally listed together in the ld manual page.

The --as-needed varies the algorithm for which shared libraries to mark
as dependencies but doesn't change the behaviour for undefined symbols
as far as I can see.
