Hm, there is no documentation at it is quite simple. Just link against those
libraries you are missing. Lets take your package as an example. As I found it
using binutils-gold, we may just install binutils-gold.
First thing I notice is that the clean target of your package deletes files
which are part of the tar.gz (config.guess, config.sub). Thats quite bad when
we try to create a clean diff.tar.gz or debian.tar.gz

Now search for the functions and where they should came form.
libeplplot.so.3.2.7 for example needs libX11. libajaxg.so.6.0.2 needs
libeplplot.
So I've opened plplot/Makefile.am and changed
< libeplplot_la_LDFLAGS = $(LINKFLAGS)
> libeplplot_la_LDFLAGS = $(LINKFLAGS) -lX11
Now the auto* stuff must be regenerated.
So at least libeplplot.so.3.2.7 should have less unresolved symbols. But as
your package is broken (see #587170), I stop here.
There are other things like that the test suite fails, but the package still
claims that it builds fine.
Best regards.
