Description
While looking at a BS2 bug a while ago, I tried to compile a minimal version with only the BS2 engine included. At the time I had trouble building it, but since someone else helped me diagnose the bug, I didn't look any further into it.
Now I decided to try again, using the most recent SVN snapshot. This is the configure command I used:
./configure --disable-scumm --disable-simon --disable-sky --disable-sword1 --disable-queen --disable-saga --disable-gob --disable-kyra --disable-mt32emu --disable-scalers --disable-hq-scalers --disable-mad --disable-flac --disable-fluidsynth --disable-nasm
Which for me meant I ended up with the following features:
Engines: Broken Sword 2 (w/ mpeg2 cutscenes)
Backend... sdl Looking for sdl-config... /usr/bin/sdl-config
Compiling seemed to go well, all the way to the final linking, which produced the following output, which I'm not sure quite how to interpret:
g++ backends/sdl/events.o backends/sdl/graphics.o
backends/sdl/sdl.o base/libbase.a

I forgot to say:
g++ identifies itself as "g++ (GCC) 4.0.3 20060212 (prerelease) (Debian 4.0.2-9)"
ld identified itself as "GNU ld version 2.16.91 20060118 Debian GNU/Linux"

I can reproduce the problem. Roughly said, this happens: "backends" (which contains the MIDI drivers) is linked in after "sound" (which contains MidiDriver_MPU401). Due to the way Unix linkers, this causes problems if nothing else references to the parts of "sound" which are required by "backends".
So the first natural idea is to swap the link order of "backends" and "sound". But this doesn't really solve the issue, because "sound" also refers to the MIDI code in backends (via MidiDriver::createMidi)... so this is a circular reference.
To break the circle, we need to move some code. E.g. we could move the functionality MidiDriver::createMidi to a new source file in backends/midi/. Or we could move all the MIDI drivers to a new sound/midi/drivers directory (and move the various sound/midi*.* files to sound/midi/).

Yes, I faced exactly the same situation when built ScummVM for Nokia 770 which doesn't have sequencer, so I had to use null MIDI driver for it. Since of use of virtual functions there, null driver couldn't get all methods and compiler spitted similiar errors. I resolved it by moving null.cpp to sound/ directory, but did not commit it as it is very hackish solution.

I had the same problem while working on the queen module.
At the time, I "fixed" it by using the GNU ld specific option --whole-archive. Not the nicest solution, but as a workaround, it worked nicely.

I fixed this for now by moving null.cpp to sound/ (like Eugene suggested). While this is hackish, it is portable, and actually does make some sense -- all other files in backends/midi constitute drivers that only work on certain system (which is why they belong into backends/), the only exception was null.cpp (which obviously "works" everywhere)... :-). Of course it's still somewhat arbitrary, but it works.
