Thanks for the bug report. The patch looks safe, since Emacs calls atan as well as sqrt. And it looks like an improvement, since I can imagine all sorts of reasons why sqrt would not need libm whereas atan would, starting with the fact that typical hardware nowadays has sqrt instructions but not atan instructions. (The 'configure' test itself relies on undefined behavior, so it's not strictly portable anyway.)

Although it would be helpful to know how to reproduce the problem (which compiler? how configured? etc.) and which symbols were not found in temacs on Solaris 11.4, we don't need to know that to install the patch.
