it seems that your likage editor does not recognize the -lm option.
This problem could be caused by the non existence of the libm.a or
libm.so library (I feel this is highly improbable).
I think that your linkage editor ld get confused as the -lm option
appears twice in the command, thus it tries to find a file named -lm
(in fact it says -lm not found, it is not looking for libm.a).
I would edit the Makefile by hand to remove the first -lm.
