GCC won't Link with Math functions

I am using gcc running under the Slackware version 2.2.0 of 
Linux.  I have been attempting to compile and link a c program 
which includes several math functions such as cos, floor, pow, 
etc.  I keep getting undefined reference to cos (etc) messages.  

Specifics include:
- I am compiling using gcc -g -lm -o output_name name.c
- I have included #include <math.h>
- I even tried using -I and -L options to include the directories 
for math.h and libm.a
- program compiles OK with the -c option.
- This program compiles OK on an IBM RS6000.

Am I missing something obvious, or is the compiler not linking 
the libm.a library as it should?  I would appreciate any help 
provided.

Thanks.
