Policy 10.2:
Although not enforced by the build tools, shared libraries must be
linked against all libraries that they use symbols from in the same
way that binaries are. This ensures the correct functioning of the
symbols and shlibs systems and guarantees that all libraries can be
safely opened with `dlopen()'. Packagers may wish to use the gcc
option `-Wl,-z,defs' when building a shared library. Since this
option enforces symbol resolution at build time, a missing library
reference will be caught early as a fatal build error.
