There's a special environment variable (LD_MATH) to tell the build
procedure where the math library is on systems that need such help.

Please try the following:

    1.  Go to the top-level source-directory.

    2.  Perform steps 3 through 5 described near the end of the file
        INSTALL.

    3.  Set the environment variable LD_MATH to reference the math
        library:

            export LD_MATH='-L/usr/lib/libm.a -lm'

    4.  Perform steps 6 through 9 described near the end of the file
        INSTALL.

Please let me know if this helps.
