That's not what he said.  The "-L" options may preceed the object files,
but the libraries themselves ("-l" options) definitely must follow
and must be in the correct order ...

... unless your libraries are shared objects.  In that case it doesn't
matter (at least on linux).  Probably libm is shared.  Try this again
using "gcc -static -lm test.c".
