1.  To state the obvious:
At static link time ld has found these symbols in specified dylibs.  At 
run time the library in question is either missing from the default and 
explicit DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH or another library with the same name not 
containing the symbols is ahead of it in DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH.
2.  I am banging my head because I have seen this, and fixed it before. 
Now I cannot find exactly where that was.
3.  I suspect that dyld is picking up one of the default Apple libraries 
with the same name as a GNU library but the symbols are missing in one of 
them.  I keep thinking this is something to do with the runtime library 
libobjc.dylib.  I know in Swarm we changed the name of the Objective-C 
runtime to libswarmobjc to avoid this type of problem.
