Let say gcc main.c -lpari -lm then.
-lm is independent of the Configure options.

But what if PARI was configured with an alternative graphic engine
(fltk,qt,etc...) ? The program will be linked with that library, and
will not work with libpari.so.x build with a different graphic engine.

Anyway we need to remove plotport.o from libpari until the issue above
is sorted out.
