That's expected; -Wl,-z,defs enforces symbol resolution at build time.

Hm, I'm not sure if it worked before for native libraries, but smells
like a gnustep-make regression if it did (and undocumented behavior if
this variable has effect only on frameworks and libraries, but not on
native libraries).  I'll investigate.  Here's a patch that fixes the
problem:

A bug in gsdh_gnustep...

...with a nefarious effect.  LoginPanel is a bundle inside the
framework's resources; that's very unusual and evidently this scenario
is not handled by the script.  So forget about my suggestion to use
gsdh_gnustep.
