Missing libm linkage for _imagingmath extension causes undefined symbol errors #9386
Description
The PIL._imagingmath extension module fails to load on some systems due to missing linkage against the math library (libm). This causes undefined symbol errors for mathematical functions like fmod, powf, and pow.
bash[./lib/python3.12/site-packages/PIL/_imagingmath.cpython-312-aarch64-linux-gnu.so]:
linux-vdso.so.1 (0x0000ffff9f92d000)
libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x0000ffff9f6dc000)
/lib/ld-linux-aarch64.so.1 (0x0000ffff9f8e0000)
undefined symbol: fmod (./lib/python3.12/site-packages/PIL/_imagingmath.cpython-312-aarch64-linux-gnu.so)
undefined symbol: powf (./lib/python3.12/site-packages/PIL/_imagingmath.cpython-312-aarch64-linux-gnu.so)
undefined symbol: pow (./lib/python3.12/site-packages/PIL/_imagingmath.cpython-312-aarch64-linux-gnu.so)Workaround is to use a sed patch to explicitly link the math library:
sed -i 's/Extension("PIL\._imagingmath", \["src\/_imagingmath\.c"\]),/Extension("PIL._imagingmath", ["src\/_imagingmath.c"], libraries=["m"]),/' "./setup.py"Environment
