  ^^^^^^

It's not an error, not even a warning, just a report.

Stephan is going to regret having added it though :)

-no-undefined allows a nice test that libs contain no undefined symbols.
"contains undefined" means "doesn't contain -no-undefined, so no test,
that's all.

What I don't know is (Stephan?) why we can't just add -no-undefined everywhere.
IIRC there is some cases where we shouldn't...
