Try the following:

gcc -o test test.c -lm -lieee
I hope you got a cronjob to remove core files ;-)

- Symbol versioning is broken in the CVS version. There is no fix yet for
this problem.
- The CVS gas version has a few problems with weak symbols, aliases and
other special cases. These usually don't show up. Anyway, the patchkit
on oss.sgi.com has all these fixes which haven't made their way into
CVS.
I've spent a tremendous amount of time into tracking down a large number of
other bugs in binutils; I was able to rebuild entire RH 6.0 with that
linker.
