No, it has its own emulation of linker logic, and ignores failure to find 
a definition of a symbol (for example, libgcc symbols - it doesn't look 
for libgcc.a / libgcc_eh.a, so it won't detect namespace issues there).  
(If an undefined symbol breaks namespace rules, that will still result in 
a test failure unless whitelisted in linknamespace.pl, whether or not a 
definition of that symbol was found.)
