Without this fix I got a missing symbol compilation error with gcc 4.6.1 (I didn't submit a patch because I wanted to learn more about the issue and do tests, but I hadn't had the time yet). From what I read, the latest gcc versions are stricter on this issue, as the flag `--as-needed` is on by default, which requires libraries to be linked in reverse dependence order (see e.g. comments [here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8207464/linking-math-library-in-gcc-4-6-1-ubuntu-11-10)).
