Re: [Bug-gsl] gsl 2.1 test failures

[Patrick Alken]

I will try to figure out how to cross-compile gsl in 32bit mode on my 
machine, it might take a few days for me to resolve this. In the 
mean-time, I don't think there is any problem in using GSL in 32 bit, 
just that the test tolerances are too tight for 32 bit to pass the tests.
