Thing is, I really can´t believe that developpers will try a separate builds 
at all times just for undefined symbols. If you give the option to disable it, 
developpers *will* disable it at the first opportunity. In all likelihood, it 
will end up in some random howto or build scripts too. Even more so if you 
rely on it for sanitizers. Yet even more so if you require three builds, one 
for address sanitization, one for thread sanitization and one for undefined 
symbols.

And then it will only be a matter of how often it breaks. That´s just how it 
used to be before the option got enforced.
