[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] examples/decoding_encoding: remove unused variable "size"

That is normal: shared libraries track their dependencies in the NEEDED
private fields (see objdump -p). Static libraries, on the other hand, are
just a collection of object files, and linking is flat.

But for that reason, if you are linking with shared libav*, you should not
need to specify -lm. What does objdump -p say about your libavutil.so?

That is true. Unfortunately, that does not explain anything, since this
particular example does not use math functions.
