I forgot to mention that I used "LIBS='-lm'". My bad.

What?
pacman's C code *never* failed to compile on FreeBSD since I started
using it (in January I think). I use gcc45 though so my environment is
not exactly the same as the official one. Maybe GCC's include-fixed
headers are doing magic.

I can share ISOs, images If anyone needs a nice working FreeBSD/pacman
environment.
