In Linux I think you need to install the Intel runtime to use the Intel libm. See this post by @SebastianM-C:

> I had issues with libm when I built MKL on Linux, but they were solved by installing the compiler runtime libs ([Intel Developer Zone](https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/installing-intel-parallel-studio-xe-runtime-2018-using-yum-repository)). I am not sure if there is something similar for macOS.
