Public bug reported:

Attempting to compile code that calls `gvContextPlugins(args)` results
in undefined references in libgvplugin_core.so. This occurs only on
Ubuntu 20.04 as far as I can tell, and is causing some problems with
Regina (see https://github.com/regina-normal/regina/issues/70).

A sample main.c and Makefile can be viewed at
https://gist.github.com/WPettersson/014bb43f5063e06742ca06666c1b81d1

Compiling on Ubuntu 20.04 with latest graphviz installed results in

gcc main.c -o main -lcgraph -lgvc -lgvplugin_core -lgvplugin_dot_layout 
-lgvplugin_neato_layout -I/usr/include/graphviz 
-L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/graphviz -DLIBGVC_DYNAMIC_PLUGINS
gcc main.c -o main -lcgraph -lgvc -lgvplugin_core -lgvplugin_dot_layout 
-lgvplugin_neato_layout -I/usr/include/graphviz 
-L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/graphviz
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/graphviz/libgvplugin_core.so: undefined 
reference to `__exp_finite'
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/graphviz/libgvplugin_core.so: undefined 
reference to `__log10_finite'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [Makefile:4: static] Error 1


After adjusting the compile flags, this code compiles (and runs) fine on Debian 
buster, as well as on Gentoo and ArchLinux. 

Ubuntu version:
Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS


Installed relevant packages:
libgraphviz-dev: 2.24.2-3build2
libgvc6 2.42.2-3build3
libgvc6-plugins-gtk 2.42.2-3build2

What I expected to happen:
Clean compilation

What happened instead:
undefined references
