What is your platform?

The correct fix is to link each module to the libraries that provide the
symbols it needs, just as (almost) all libraries do.  However,
particular care needs to be taken to avoid duplicate symbols.  

The Samba3 modules are linked by the waf build with options to permit
undefined symbols (just as the autoconf build does).  This may not
operate correctly on your platform however.
