Got bored this weekend and tried out haiku/building Wine on haiku (which
obviously won't fully work, for a while). It does help find weird bugs. In this
case, wine's calling 'ld -lm', which, for at least Haiku, and possibly/probably
others, isn't supported:

"There is no libm in Haiku. The math functions are present in libroot. If
you're trying to port, adapt the build system to account for that for the Haiku
platform."

I'd strongly suggest to the Haiku people to add a libm compatibility library,
that's very standard stuff.

We can't use autoconf macros in winegcc, and I'm not going to add #ifdefs for
every obscure platform that can't make a minimal effort to be compatible with
mainstream.
