Yes, I found the same thing with fedora 36, whereas fedora-35 worked well. The ksh93 component is an external project referenced by cdesktopenv and it would be really better if they fixed it. It may be as simple as requiring an extra "-lm" in the linking step.
If you want to see if you can get something running on fedora-36 you could try a compiled package built for fedora-35.
It might be easy to test by finding the right Makefile used as the ksh93 build and trying it to see if the dependencies disappear. However the real trick is putting the option in the correct configuration for the platforms that need it. Although automake is used for CDE itself, the ksh93 component is its own contained project which does its own thing.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Just installed Fedora 36 and wanted to see if CDE would build.
Everything was going swimmingly until:

Not sure if there's a dependency error or what, but any help is appreciated.

If you install dtlogin-service is should be just a matter of using
Thx Roger. I'll try it out.
Yeah, those "work", but i wonder if there is a couple of code edits we could fix. I'll keep trying and see if i can get it working.
I see where adding the "-lm" might help. Although it looks like that would be an option off of the cc invocation.
@Roger - would that -lm option need to go in the Makefile(s)?
How hard would it be to test that?
It might be easy to test by finding the right Makefile used as the ksh93 build and trying it to see if the dependencies disappear. However the real trick is putting the option in the correct configuration for the platforms that need it.

This is my patch file that fixes this for the 2.5.0 release tag
