Title:
  libm log function: always unreferenced

Status in “eglibc” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  For this simple code:

  
  #include <math.h>

  int main(void)
  {
      log(0.0);

      return 0;
  }

  when compiled with `gcc -lm foo.c`, you would always get the following
  error message:

  /tmp/ccTTLEYA.o: In function `main':
  foo.c:(.text+0x9): undefined reference to `log'
  collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

  which doesn't make sense.

  I tried the same code to be compiled with `clang -lm foo.c`, which
  compiles successfully.

  Also, I tried the same code on a RHEL 6 machine with gcc, which
  compiles successfully.
