I don’t think this specific issue is RC: the symbols are provided by
libsundials_nvecserial, which is in the same package. So no dependency
is missing. This just means that you have to link a program with
"-lsundials_nvecserial -lsundials_fnvecserial" (as you would anyways
have to do if doing static compilation).

Also, I tried to fix this by adding the "-lsundials_nvecserial" when
linking libsundials_fnvecserial. Unfortunately, libtool ends up adding
an incorrect rpath in the binary. I guess this is because the libtool
embedded in sundials is very old, and updating libtool in this case
seems non trivial and therefore not freeze policy-compliant.
