What's Uni? Oh, university? Heh, you're not at an .edu address...
Yes, the error message refers to the math library.
"-lm" means "link with libm.a" (or libm.so, depending).
But the -lm directive seems to be misplaced somehow,
perhaps from your host/target makefile fragment.
We're at version 6.8, though -- we can't help you too much
with version 6.2...
