Somehow the dummy libm.a is corrupted (some of the unizp programs have
a nasty tendency of trying to guess text vs binary and screws up files).

For now, you can do the following:
  
  $ cd /egcs-1.1.2/i386-mingw32/lib
  $ rm libm.a
  $ ar crv libm.a
  $ ranlib libm.a

I usually include a dummy.c file with a static dummy integer in it,
but that's not required.

No need. All the math libraries are already included via the import
library (crtdll or msvcrt).
