wierd ld problem

["Chris R. Martin" <crmartin@ee.tamu.edu>]

here's my problem:

ld -o utils.o args.o doubleint.o finddisp.o flsbuf.o geometry.o getrect.o
hash.o heap.o list.o lookup.o lookupany.o lookupfull.o malloc.o match.o
path.o pathvisit.o port.o printstuff.o stack.o strdup.o dqueue.o
runstats.o saveimage.o set.o show.o touchtypes.o  -r -lm 
ld: cannot open -lm: File format not recognized

what am I doing wrong? according to the man page, this is correct syntax
for ld..

Please help me out here...

I have libc5(-dev) 5.4.33-6, ldso 1.8.12-1, binutils 2.7.0.9-3

any clues?

Thanks,
Chris
