Default of SUNDIALS_MATH_LIBRARY incorrect?

[bjodah]

I'm updating a build script for sundials and I got some linking errors related to transitioning from USE_GENERIC_MATH to SUNDIALS_MATH_LIBRARY. I noticed that the default value for SUNDIALS_MATH_LIBRARY gets set to "-lm", I think it should read just "m" shouldn't it? But maybe CMake strips leading -l, I haven't actually confirmed that it matters.

docs for target_link_libraries:

• https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/command/target_link_libraries.html

excerpt:

A link flag: Item names starting with -, but not -l or -framework, are treated as linker flags. Note that such flags will be treated like any other library link item for purposes of transitive dependencies, so they are generally safe to specify only as private link items that will not propagate to dependents.

that would explain why the link error was in linking a test, no?

or maybe SUNDIALS_MATH_LIBRARY need to be added to e.g. cvRoberts_dns etc.?
