"-no-undefined" is a libtool flags not a ld flag.  Libtool should see flag 
and change it's behavior.  Perhaps g++ is getting it when static libs are 
being created and libtool is not involved.  The next version of Aspell 
0.60 passes this flag directly to libtool so you shouldn't have this 
problem.  I will upload a snapshot within a couple of days for you to try 
out.
