My understanding is that you very likely do not have OBJDUMP in the PATH
or set correctly which is causing UNDEF_SYM not to get defined.

UNDEF_SYMBS actualy expands to -u<symbol_name> which is legal for LDFLAGS.

Try to provide a log that shows how commands are being executed for the
u-boot target.
