spmatrix tests fail on x86_64

[Jeffrey Walton]

Hi Everyone,

I'm building the GSL 2.6 release tarball on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS x86_64
fully patched. 'make check' is failing at the spmatrix test suite:

$ cat gsl-2.6/spmatrix/test-suite.log

It looks like the issue was raised for Aarch64 and PowerPC at
https://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gsl/2020-05/msg00001.html. But I
don't see a resolution.

Attached are config.log and the test suite results.
