Docs for --unresolved-symbols unclear?

Thanks for explaining this!

Now, I'm at loss again. This change removes stagement that -Bdynamic implies
--unresolved-symbols=ignore-all. But when I try my test case:

б б б б voidб foo();

б б б б intб main()
б б б б {
б б б б б б б б foo();
б б б б }

with 

б б g++б a.cppб -Wl,-Bdynamic

I get:

a.cpp:6:2: warning: no newline at end of file
/tmp/ccaT8qMm.o(.text+0x11): In function `main':
: warning: undefined reference to `foo()'

That is, I get warning, not error. Without, -Bdynamic, I get error, as
expected. I'm using binutils 2.14.90.0.6-3 on Debian, so it might not be
the most current version. OTOH, Changelog does not mention any significant
changes to -Bdynamic.
