Apparently, your C compiler/linker isn't referencing the C runtime
library where the above functions are.  This is non-standard behavior
and should be reported to your system administrator.

In the meantime, you should be able to cause the build procedure to 
explicity reference the C math functions by using the LIBS environment
variable.  Try the following:

    1.  Go to the top-level source directory.

    2.  Perform steps 2 through 5 near the end of the INSATLL file.

    3.  Ensure that the environment variable LIBS contains the string "-lm".

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