The story with -no-undefined is long and twisted, here's a partial summary (from what I gathered): http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.mingw.user/18727 Adding -no-undefined by the user at package build time is usually not hard (by 'make LDFLAGS=-no-undefined' or similar), but removing it in case issues arise is a bit more work. But yes, if the package builds well with -no-undefined everywhere, there's no reason not to add it. (I should probably update my recommendation in above article to have it added for $host_os matching cygwin*, mingw*, and skyos*).
