Re: [Help-gsl] another test release for gsl 1.16

On an x86_64 Ubuntu system with just 'configure', I see 'make check'
pass for all of gcc 4.5, gcc 4.6, and gcc 4.7.

Intel 11.1 succeeds on 'make all' but fails in sys/ during 'make check' with
    make[2]: Entering directory `/net/setun/workspace/rhys/tmp/intel-11.1/sys'
    icc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../../gsl-1.15.91/sys -I..
-I../../gsl-1.15.91    -g -O2 -MT test.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/test.Tpo -c
-o test.o ../../gsl-1.15.91/sys/test.c
    (0): internal error: backend signals

Intel 12.1 and 13.1 both succeed on 'make all' but dies in linalg/
with 'grep FAIL linalg/test-suite.log' showing:
    FAIL:   QR_solve hilbert(4) [32]
    FAIL: QR Solve [38]
    FAIL:   QR_QRsolve hilbert(4) [122]
    FAIL: QR QR Solve [128]

    FAIL: SVD Solve [233795]
These are likely just https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?39152 and/or
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?39171 that we've discussed in the past.
 I cataloged them here for completeness/archive searchability.

For lack of time, I have not tried backing the Intel builds down to
-O1 to see if they pass there.  On older releases, this has tended to
work.

Thanks for shepherding the release Patrick.
