Yep, this is what I was referring to. It's looking for libm.a, the 
static version of the standard math library, so it can use it to make a 
static executable. On Debian, this is /usr/lib/libm.a, and is part of 
the libc6-dev package. You should be able to install something similar 
for mandrake to resolve this issue.
