Because some code calls xyz but the linker can not find any object file or library that defines xyz.
# and then make # halts with an error?
Because make is designed to halt on errors.

No.
# continue as there weren't errors?
The purpose of make is to stop at the first error. Fix your build by providing whatever file has xyz at link time.
