Perhaps I spoke to soon.  Although linking with -lm no longer crashes,
one does have to be careful about where to put it:

bash$ gcc hello.c -lm

bash$ ./a.exe
Hello World!

bash$  gcc -lm hello.c
/c/TEMP/ccjLEGlU.o(.text+0x10):hello.c: multiple definition of `main'
/usr/lib/libm.a(libcmain.o)(.text+0x0):libcmain.c: first defined here
/usr/lib/libm.a(libcmain.o)(.text+0x6a):libcmain.c: undefined reference to `WinMain AT 16'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

This is not in the FAQ anywhere.  I'll add it to the existing section
about WinMain AT 16.

Thanks to Patrick Doyle for bringing this to my attention.

David
