Bug Description

Ubuntu 11.10
picolisp-3.0.7.7-2

The math functions, which are loaded dynamically at runtime in PicoLisp, are not linked into the executable.

Test:
   $ pil +
   : (load "@lib/math.l")
   -> atan2
   : (cos 0.5)
   !? (native "@" "cos" 1000000 "Dbl1")
   [DLL] /usr/bin/picolisp: undefined symbol: cos

Obviously uses the Ubuntu build process "-Wl,--as-needed" as the default. As a result, the "-lm" command line argument to 'gcc' has no effect. This problem does not occur in the original Debian build.

FYI, the newest upstream version (3.0.8.4) now contains the directive "-Wl,--no-as-needed" in the 'gcc' link line. This should fix the problem in the long range.
