Seems good.
I tested it.

As a refinement, the associated documentation should be updated
(but that is a separate patch).

Thanks for the response.

On my machine, I get the undefined references even with GCC 5 (gcc version 5.2.1 20151010 (Ubuntu 5.2.1-22ubuntu2)), if I put -lm before the source file name.

As far as a patch, I can try but this would be my first time really playing with org-mode code. As far as I can see, I would need to add the following lines in ob-C.el:
L133: (libs (cdr (assoc :libs params)))
         (libs (mapconcat 'identity
               (if (listp libs) libs (list libs)) " "))
L142: (format "%s -o %s %s %s %s" ;; (added %s)
L147: libs

Am I missing anything?

To summarize this thread:
It seems there was an issue long ago.
Version 5 of GCC magically fixed it.
But it is still here for older compilers.

-------------------------

To debug, execute the following piece of lisp code:

    (defadvice org-babel-eval (before xxx (cmd body))
      ""
      (message "org-babel-eval : %s" cmd))
    (ad-activate 'org-babel-eval)

The actual compilation command will be displayed in the *Messages* buffer.

With your example, we get

   gcc -o /tmp/babel-8412zIw/C-bin-8412IZR -lm
/tmp/babel-8412zIw/C-src-84127OL.c

--------------------------

You are right, Oz, this can be fixed in line 147.
But :flags is intended for flags like -g or -O, which need to appear
before the source file.

Probably we are missing an additional flag, which could be named :libs
Then your example would be:

  #+BEGIN_SRC C :includes '(<math.h> <stdio.h>) :libs -lm
  int i=9;
  printf("%d\n",(int)sqrt(i));
  #+END_SRC

--------------------------

Oz, do you think you would be able to provide a patch?
The way to contribute is documented here:

Thanks for reporting.
