I doubt it will help you much. If you really want to be sure, you
should build all YOUR DSOs with --no-undefined. The --no-undefined
switch shouldn't bother with DSOs linked against. First you don't
build those DSOs and secondly you may not know what those DSOs look
lik at the runtime.
BTW, I am not against you submit a patch to add a separate switch to
do what you want. I just want to point it out that it is not that
useful.
