Did you only try MinGW compiler for my program? Did you try Visual C++ 6.0 
for it?
I'm sorry my program compiled by MinGW actually can run correctly.
The "ret 4" assembly instruction generated by MinGW doesn't make programs 
generated by MinGW wrong,
but it make Visual C++ 6.0 wrong.

I compiled gsl-1.11 from official source.
I did that:
./configure
make
make install

I compiled my programs with dynamically linked gsl.

In fact, I think the problem is caused by that the assembly codes of 
functions, generated by MinGW,
are not full compatible with Visual C++ 6.0. However, this is not a gsl's 
problem.

So, shouldn't I develop my programs by Visual C++ 6.0 compiler and libraries 
generated by MinGW?
However, GnuWin32 project says it can:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In general, static and import C libraries from GnuWin32 should be 
interoperable
with other libraries compiled with Mingw, MSVC and BCC
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/summary.html

I may report this problem to this project.

Thanks all.
