            Bug ID: 80182
           Summary: gcc -lm -o
           Product: gcc
           Version: 5.4.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org

  Target Milestone: ---

When using the command "gcc -lm -o <filename.c>". When trying to link math,
using that combination of flags caused me to lose several hours of work on code
which is really frustrating. Additionally i had thought the file could have
been sent to the trash bin or made hidden but it was no where to be found.
