Usually you don't need to use the full path to libm, and it's only needed
sometimes depending on your compiler and toolchain.  I typically use
something like the following to deal with both the implicit and explicit
scenarios:

include(CheckCSourceCompiles)
set(LIBM_TEST_SOURCE "#include<math.h>\nfloat f; int main(){sqrt(f);return
0;}")
check_c_source_compiles("${LIBM_TEST_SOURCE}" HAVE_MATH)
if(HAVE_MATH)
  set(LIBM_LIBRARIES)
else()
  set(CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES m)
  check_c_source_compiles("${LIBM_TEST_SOURCE}" HAVE_LIBM_MATH)
  unset(CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES)
  if(NOT HAVE_LIBM_MATH)
    message(FATAL_ERROR "Unable to use C math library functions")
  endif()
  set(LIBM_LIBRARIES m)
endif()

target_link_libraries(fooTarget PRIVATE ${LIBM_LIBRARIES})
