Because shared libraries are not archive libraries.  When you link
against a shared library, you get all of the associated objects,
including all of their references.

That said, you can use the --allow-shlib-undefined option to permit
shared libraries to have undefined references.  You will be fine as
long as none of the undefined references are required at run time.
