The math library definitely works correctly on the 3B5.  Be sure the
-lm option is the last thing on the command line when you link, and
be sure to use the -f option as well.  An example:

	cc -f -o simple simple.c -lm

If you can't get this to work, send me a copy of your source file
and the *exact* error messages you get, and I will take a look at it.
