I just installed GLFW3 on Ubuntu and I'm testing the example code from the documentation (http://www.glfw.org/documentation.html) and I got those errors.
I tried multiples thing like adding -ldl, but nothing seems to work.
Here is the error log (GCC):

Order of libraries when linking matter. If library A depends on library B, then A must come before B on the command line.
In your case, since the glfw3
library depends on the dl
library, you must switch order so that glfw3
comes before dl
on the command line.
You also must link with the X11
library.
So the full command line should look something like
g++ -o bin/Debug/Game obj/Debug/main.o -lglfw3 -ldl -lm -lGL -lGLU -lX11
