================
Comment at: ELF/Symbols.cpp:152-154
+  // Undefined external symbols in a non-DSO usually reported by linker and link
+  // fails, but together with --unresolved-symbols=ignore-all link succeeds and
+  // runtime linker should take care about them during execution.
----------------
Undefined symbols in non-DSOs are usually just an error, so it usually doesn't matter whether we return true or false here. However, if -unresolved-symbols=ignore-all is specified, undefined symbols in executables are automatically exported so that the runtime linker can try to resolve them. In that case, they is preemptible. So, we return true for an undefined symbol in case the option is specified.
