This issue is a big problem when porting Unix autoconfigure scripts that
compile test programs to check for various external symbols and expect the
compile/link to fail in error if any symbols are unresolved.

The MPE workaround is to try executing your program after the compile/link; if
it fails to execute, you assume you have unresolved externals.
