Well I think I'm just stating the obvious here, but clearly
libgslcblas.so is OK -

> openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/lib/libgslcblas.so", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC)          
>         = 7</usr/lib/libgslcblas.so.0.0.0>

- and also libgsl.so -

> openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/lib/libgsl.so", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC)               
>         = 7</usr/lib/libgsl.so.23.1.0>

- but apparently the system also needs libgsl.la, and that isn't found
at the expected place:

> openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/lib/guile/2.2/extensions/libgsl.la", O_RDONLY)    
>         = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

I'm afraid I don't know any more, e.g. about whether libgsl.la _should_
be needed here.
