May I ask you for the whole configure log, please?

I do believe it's just a matter that Apple's linker equivalent to --no-undefined should be something like: "-undefined,error".
Can you test if it works for you? (I don't have access to a Mac for testing).

This is a simple patch that may solve the problem.
Let me know if it works for you.

ffidenci@cat ~/src/upstream/libosinfo $ git diff
diff --git a/configure.ac b/configure.ac

Okay, patch has been pushed (c4d379042f57f0512ba3fb5fea2109acc941b460) and will be part of 0.3.1 release.
