I am currently reviewing toped :
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=208200

In the review process, I checked the binary rpm rebuilt by rpmlint
as "rpmlint toped-0.8.1-1.fc6.i386.rpm", and the result was clean.
However, once I install toped and try "rpmlint toped", I get lots
of "undefined non-weak symbol" complaint like:

W: toped undefined-non-weak-symbol /usr/lib/libtpd_common.so.0.0.0 wxEVT_LOG_ERRMESSAGE
W: toped undefined-non-weak-symbol /usr/lib/libtpd_common.so.0.0.0 CmdList
W: toped undefined-non-weak-symbol /usr/lib/libtpd_common.so.0.0.0 wxEVT_FUNC_BROWSER
W: toped undefined-non-weak-symbol /usr/lib/libtpd_DB.so.0.0.0 Properties
W: toped undefined-non-weak-symbol /usr/lib/libtpd_DB.so.0.0.0 _ZNK5DBboxmlERK3CTM
W: toped undefined-non-weak-symbol /usr/lib/libtpd_DB.so.0.0.0 _ZN8SGBitSetD1Ev
W: toped undefined-non-weak-symbol /usr/lib/libtpd_DB.so.0.0.0 _ZN9polycross11segmentlistD1Ev
............................

So my question is:
A. why is these complaints suppressed by "rpmlint ***.i386.rpm" ? Is this a default
   of rpmlint?
B. Are these complaints BLOCKERs for approving this package?

Thank you in advance.
