No.  It has always been the user's responsibility to specify -lm when
compiling code which uses the <math.h> functions.  It is most certainly
_not_ the user's responsibility to know which parts of the base C
language are implemented through support functions.  Are you seriously
suggesting that it is normal to have to link -lm because your program
multiplies and divides floating point numbers?

So stop.  If the problem you discuss no longer exists, why do you keep
complaining about it?  It's already been fixed -- what are we supposed
to do, go back in time and fix it sooner?
