The plP_* symbols are not part of the public API for plplot but are internal functions. Recent versions of plplot have tightened up the external interface and the -fvisibility=hidden option will now only export the public API. This is therefore a bug in gnudatalanguage. If you think you really need this function and that is should be a part of the plplot public API then I would take it up with upstream via the plplot-devel mailing list on sourceforge.
