There is the GNU ld flag --no-undefined (two dashes), and there's the libtool
flag -no-undefined (one dash). They are not the same, and spelling out
-no-undefined does not make libtool feed --no-undefined to the linker.
Nor does libtool look for -Wl,--no-undefined. -Wl,-no-undefined seems to be
some confused hybrid.

The libtool command should almost always include -no-undefined, so you
should probably add that.
