This doesn't mean math.h wasn't found.  That would have
been a warning or error during compilation of lat.c to lat.o.

This means you didn't link against -lm when linking the
program just like if you were compiling a native program.

The only thing to note on RTEMS is that each Classic API
task may optionally have the FPU enabled and have an FP
context.  Include the attribute RTEMS_FLOATING_POINT
on the task create call for all tasks doing FPU operations.
