Comment:

 I don't believe this can be considered a bug.  Indeed, when
 Boost.Python is used for extending Python, it is important that
 libboost_python.so ''not'' be linked against libpython, since that
 will cause duplicate symbol errors.  Python itself already contains
 all the symbols.  Unless you can convince me that we should build
 otherwise-identical separate versions of libboost_python for extending
 and embedding (seems crazy to me), my answer is "don't use
 --no-undefined."  If you have a good counterargment, please feel free
 to reopen this ticket.
