Gcc is not even compiling this code so it is rather obvious it refuses
to link. ;)
I can spot 2 problems in this code. 1st of all -- your main function.
It should
always return an integer, not void. Another mistake is missing
typename keyword.
ObjectType::elem_sprt and Container::iterator depend on ObjectType
which is
template parameter. This is why you need to precede its definition
with typename.
Here's what needs to be changed:

namespace abc {
	template <typename ObjectType>
	class BaseContainer {
		typedef std::map<int, typename ObjectType::elem_sptr> Container;
		typedef typename Container::iterator iterator;
		Container  c;
	};
}

int main() {
     abc::BaseContainer<xyz::elem> elem_container;
	return 0;
}
