-z undefs is the inverse of -z defs. It allows unresolved references
from object files. This can be used to cancel --no-undefined or -z defs.

Some findings related to the topic. There are two kinds of unresolved references: 1) from object files 2) from shared objects. --unresolved-symbols= toggles both bits while -z (un)defs and --(no-)allow-shlib-undefined toggles one bit, respectively. I personally favor the fine-grained options over --unresolved-symbols=
It seems we can actually model --unresolved-symbols=ignore-in-object-files in terms of --allow-shlib-undefined but I think that is probably unnecessary. I can't find any use of "ignore-in-object-files" outside lld and binutils.

390 | Yeah, it is perhaps better to tighten the check a bit to catch that error too. |
