Overview

find_library(MATH_LIBRARY m) was introduced recently, but it breaks CUDA compilation with GGML_STATIC. I could not find any valid use case where we would prefer find_library over the standard -lm approach.

This commit is also meant to start a discussion if there is a valid reason to keep find_library(MATH_LIBRARY m), we should clarify what problem it was solving and find an alternative fix that does not break CUDA with GGML_STATIC.

Additional information

Found with installama.sh: https://github.com/angt/installama.sh/actions/runs/24885620138/job/72864816848

Requirements

`find_library(MATH_LIBRARY m)` was introduced recently, but it breaks
CUDA compilation with GGML_STATIC. I could not find any valid use case
where we would prefer `find_library` over the standard `-lm` approach.

This commit is also meant to start a discussion if there is a valid
reason to keep `find_library(MATH_LIBRARY m)`, we should clarify what
problem it was solving and find an alternative fix that does not break
CUDA with GGML_STATIC.

Fixed, we need to fallback for NOT WIN32 AND NOT DEFINED ENV{ONEAPI_ROOT} and not OR used in the current code.
