That's normal, for example I've taken one symbol from `nm -u` and
checked it just with `nm` and this symbol is properly defined:

% nm /local/lib/libjpeg.a | fgrep jpeg_alloc_huff_table
         U jpeg_alloc_huff_table
000000b0 T jpeg_alloc_huff_table
         U jpeg_alloc_huff_table
         U jpeg_alloc_huff_table

Just other object files inside library are referencing this symbol and
have source object file with this symbol as dependency and ld inserts
it into final executable/shared object. That's why `nm` reports them as
undefined.
