Pd-0.50.2-3 (as shipped with focal) is unable to load the external objects (plugins) shipped in the "puredata-extra" package (which is built from the same source package as "puredata" itself) due to a problem with some symbols that should be provided by libm.

The missing symbols are `__exp_finite`, `__log_finite`, `__logf_finite` and `__pow_finite`.
The affected externals are:
- bonk~
- choice
- fiddle~
- sigmund~

The problem appears to come from a change in the symbols when upgrading from glibc-2.30 to glibc-2.31 (e.g. see https://sourceware.org/pipermail/libc-alpha/2020-May/113773.html)

[Test Plan]

a quick way to check whether the objects can be loaded is by running this script (after installing the "puredata-extra" package):

~~~
find /usr/lib/puredata/extra/*/ -name "*-help.pd" -exec pd -nrt -nogui -send "pd quit" {} ";"
~~~

i've attached the output of such a test run (note the lines starting with "error:")
