.so files are not designed to be loaded, but to be used at link time.
Therefore it's perfectly fine for them to be a linker file. simple-scan
should use libm.so.6 instead, or rather LIBM_SO from the
<gnu/lib-names.h> include.

Now I don't find this common/utils.c file in the simple-scan sources.
Which version is installed on your system?
