A workaround for that problem is given in the PSPP README:

        * If you use GCC 4.3 or later to compile PSPP, along with any
          version of the GNU Scientific Library (GSL) released as of
          this writing (June 2008), then you will need to specify the
          -fgnu89-inline flag to the compiler on the "configure"
          command line: "./configure CFLAGS=-fgnu89-inline".

I am working on a patch to detect the buggy GSL versions and
automatically apply the CFLAGS for it, but it is not in 0.6.0 (or
in the Git repository).
