Bug#166543: libc6-dev: using GCC pow(x,y); does not compile.

[Jouko Kivilahti <azul@linux.lan>]

Package: libc6-dev
Version: 2.3.1-3
Severity: important

Using pow(x,y); at source does not compile

--  a.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>

int main()
{
    int a;
    a = pow(2,2);
    printf("%d\n",a);
    return (0);
}
--

$ gcc a.c
/tmp/cc2ik7lo.o(.text+0x1f): In function `main':
: undefined reference to `pow'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

it does compile with other (mingw32, other-os-compilers) compilers.
