Public bug reported:

Unresolved symbols in plugins are not detected at build time, instead
cause cryptic crashes in COMPIZ_PLUGIN_20090315().

I first noticed this yesterday when I made an unresolved symbol mistake
in the opengl plugin. Then I noticed the same was true in imgsvg (bug
956986).

We should update the compiz_plugin() function to apply linker flag
-zdefs to all plugins to ensure unresolved symbols are found at build
time.
