I am having the same problem on a Linux (gcc 2.5.8) and
Sparc Solaris (gcc 2.5.6) platform, so I am probably just
doing the same mistake on both.  When I compile a short
c program that uses either sqrt() or pow(), I get this
error message:
... undefined symbol _sqrt referenced from text segment.

I have included math.h.  I get a different error if I
use the wrong number of parameters in the functions.

The option -fbuiltin did not seem to help.

What am I doing wrong?  Thanks in advance.
