The Makefile should be fixed, but...

Why not just drop floor() usage (which is misused anyways) ?
Without it the whole -lm won't be needed.
I've sent a patch for this some time ago, resending it here.
[May be a bit outdated if configure.in changed]

Subject: [PATCH] Don't use floor() in _bitset_with_random_bits

Use _even_rand() function instead of floor() in
_bitset_with_random_bits(). floor() function is missing in dietlibc (on
architectures other than x86). Moreover using floor() to clip rand
results does not assure even result distribution.
_even_rand() uses integer arithmetic only and is designed to return evenly
distributed results.
