Building one of those does not require that all the symbols be resolved (which is a good thing: you can't link an archive against another archive or shared libraries anyway).  It just means that when you finally link that library into an executable (wireshark), you'll need to satisfy all the undefined symbols.

And, even if it were moved, it would mean you can't use the plugin in TShark.  Presumably the plugin is not a dissector, as dissectors don't need to be told about cf events; what type of plugin is it?
