That's not the only case, when building packages where you have binaries 
linked to libraries which belongs to the package being built, or when a 
package contains more than one library and there are some dependencies 
between them, you also get an error.

Currently "missing-symbols" only seem to work when there are binaries 
and libraries linked to libraries outside the package.
