Alfred (Cc:ed) verified that these warnings can be eliminated by

Would you mind making one of these changes (neither should break GNU/Linux)? If not, how should this problem be addressed?
It it is also fixed by adding --allow-shlib-undefined after -Wl,-Bsymbolic
Like: -Wl,-Bsymbolic,--allow-shlib-undefined
I submitted a fix doing this to Alexandre but it was rejected (or forgotten).
Alexandre, given how many support requests I have been receiving on this by FreeBSD users and the fact that it is making automatic regression testing somewhat harder, it really would be great to fix this.
What's your opinion on this? Did you reject Patrik's patch, or did that just fall through the cracks?
How should this be solved (in a portable way)?
