Title:
  unable to load externals: undefined symbol "__pow_finite" and similar

Status in puredata package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  Pd-0.50.2-3 (as shipped with focal) is unable to load the external
  objects (plugins) shipped in the "puredata-extra" package (which is
  built from the same source package as "puredata" itself) due to a
  problem with some symbols that should be provided by libm.

  The missing symbols are `__exp_finite`, `__log_finite`, `__logf_finite` and `__pow_finite`.
  The affected externals are:
  - bonk~
  - choice
  - fiddle~
  - sigmund~

  The problem appears to come from a change in the symbols when
  upgrading from glibc-2.30 to glibc-2.31 (e.g. see
  https://sourceware.org/pipermail/libc-alpha/2020-May/113773.html)

  A simple rebuild of the package seems to fix the problem.

  To trigger a rebuild I've added a debdiff that bumps the version
  number to "0.50.2-3build1~ubuntu20.04.1" (i hope this is the correct
  version scheme for such an upload).


  [Test Plan]

  A quick way to check whether the objects can be loaded is by running
  this script (after installing the "puredata-extra" package):

  ~~~
  find /usr/lib/puredata/extra/*/ -name "*-help.pd" -exec pd -nrt -nogui -send "pd quit" {} ";"
  ~~~

  I've attached the output of such a (failing) test run (note the lines
  starting with "error:")


  [Where problems could occur]

  The rebuild apparently fixes the problem, although a more correct fix would probably be to add "-lm" to the linker-flags when building the plugins.
  (This is what upstream did for the Pd-0.51 release).
  In order to keep the impact of my patch minimal, i have chosen to just trigger a rebuild.
