Can we turn it into a function?

That is correct since when building DSO, undefined reference is allowed
by default.

H is referenced in the input object. Why do we care about DSO here?

	else if (!info->executable
		&& info->unresolved_syms_in_objects == RM_IGNORE
		&& ELF_ST_VISIBILITY (h->other) == STV_DEFAULT)
		;

looks OK to me.

I believe the symbol is either defined or referenced when this macro
is used. I think my patch is correct.

I think the current setting is OK.

I think it meant to say executables and shared libraries instead of
static binaries and dynamic binaries. You can't have unresolved
references in dynamic binaries.
