Ok. This is a bit unusual but not unheard of, and perfectly acceptable in
fact. I just forgot that sin was used in the code itself.

-lm is standard (although libm itself is not: -lm can be seen as a compiler
flag, not necessarily a library inclusion directive), it should not raise
problems. If there are actual cases, I would like to know the specifics.

That would be rather ugly. Using a square or triangular waveform or anything
similar would be simpler.
