Comment(by fryguybob):
After a little investigation I have discovered that on MinGW libm.a is
dummy library to satisfy -lm. The desired code is in libmingwex.a which
gets linked when compiling with ghc. Changing to `Extra-Libraries:
mingwex` does not help as ghci looks for DLL to satisfy that. I'm not
sure how to get libmingwex.a to load with ghci. If you turn libmingwex.a
into a dll:
{{{
ar -x libmingwex.a
gcc -shared *.o -o mingwex.dll
}}}
Then everything works.
