When installing glibc (w/mathvec enabled) in-place on a system with
a glibc w/out mathvec enabled, the install will clobber the existing
libm.so (e.g., /lib64/libm-2.21.so) with a linker script. This is
because libm.so is a symlink to libm.so.6 which is a symlink to the
final libm-2.21.so file. When the makefile writes the linker script
directly to libm.so, it gets clobbered.
The simple patch below to math/Makefile fixes this. It is based on
the nptl Makefile, which does exactly the same thing in a safer way.
