redis-stat unable to build on Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit

[andrewgross]

Had an issue where it could not be built:

cc -o redis-stat -std=c99 -pedantic -O2 -Wall -W   -lm -pthread   -g -rdynamic -ggdb  redis-stat.o zmalloc.o utils.o deps/hiredis/libhiredis.a
redis-stat.o: In function `samplesToGraph':
/root/redis-tools/redis-stat.c:460: undefined reference to `pow'

The problem is the -lm flag needs to move to the end of the line, due to the way gcc loads things. If the make line is switched to the following, it works fine:

cc -o redis-stat -std=c99 -pedantic -O2 -Wall -W  -pthread   -g -rdynamic -ggdb redis-stat.o zmalloc.o utils.o deps/hiredis/libhiredis.a -lm

I am not the best with C compilation, so I am unsure if this is an OS specific issue, or applies to GCC in general.

putting "-lm" on the end of lines 39 & 46 for an inelegant solution works.
