0.20 is probably just as bad. This same result can be reproduced on
any platform by passing --enable-indirect-deps to ./configure.

Regarding check-libs, according to parse.c:

    Private libraries are libraries which are needed [...] on
    platforms not supporting inter-library dependencies.

so -lm (from Libs.private in simple.pc) *should* be returned. The test
is bugged: the expected result is hard-coded for when indirect-deps is
disabled. To fix locally, edit check/check-libs and make this change:

  -RESULT="-lsimple"
  +RESULT="-lsimple -lm"

More generally, the test needs to be rewritten to account for how
pkg-config is configured, probably by extracting ENABLE_INDIRECT_DEPS
from config.h and choosing different RESULT values.
