I can reproduce this. The LDFLAGS setting passed to "make" overwrites
that from configure. It works here if I set LDFLAGS in the environment
before running "configure", like

OATEST-02> export LDFLAGS="-no-undefined"
OATEST-02> ./configure --with-zlib=/usr/local --disable-nls
--disable-printucs2 --disable-xmp

That results in the desired LDFLAGS value in config/config.mk and
subsequently "make" succeeds.
