In addition, more than once have I encountered cases in which there were actually problems caused by multiple symbols and the wrong one being used. A typical example is a package that uses ncurse, but has -lm before -lcurses. Since OS X' libm is just a link to the system lib, which also contains a curses implementation (with less features than ncurses, though), this caused the affected app to use a mix of function, which lead to a bus error. Had I disabled this warning, I might never have found it.
