Bug#872852: libc6-dev: libm.a is a linker script that refers to libm-2.25.a which does not exist.

[Abhijit Hoskeri <abhijithoskeri@icloud.com>]

Package: libc6-dev
Version: 2.25-0experimental1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

libc6-dev on experimental does not ship with static library
libm-2.25.a. libm.a is a linker script that refers to this file, but its
not installed.

This causes for example, busybox static compilation to fail.

Thanks,
Abhijit
