[LEDE-DEV] [PATCH] iptables: link extension libraries with -lm

[Alin Năstac]

Hi John,

I forced CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_STATISTIC=y in my kernel config by
adding it to openwrt/target/linux/brcm63xx/config-4.1 .
However, you have to do a complete build from scratch, I noticed that
removing iptables build directory and related files in
openwrt/staging_dir/target-*/pkginfo directory rendered my build dir
unusable.

I use glibc-2.24 and gcc-5.3.0.

Alin
