This is typical of what you'll get when you mix COFF and ELF objects.
/usr/local/lib/libm.a isn't part of the system compiler, it's part of
icc.  EGCS emits ELF by default while icc emit coff by default.  You
almost certainly shouldn't be using icc's libs with egcs.  You need to
determine why your system (egcs isn't doing this by default, I'm pretty
sure) is using that library.

If the problem isn't self-evident, submit a self-contained testcase,
please.
