That's funny, I've just noticed that today and I was about to ask the ml :o

I'm actually using --enable-static --disable-shared , and I've noticed
there is logic in configure (aclocal.m4 really) to tweak a few variables if
enable_static. There might be an "ok" fix there.
However in a pinch I just added -lm to VERTO_LIBS in configure/configure.in;
that got me though the build at least.



BTW this is not the only problem I've seen when doing a static build:
* iaesx64.s fails to build because the only Makefile rule is to build a .so
* building with -pie causes link failures
