Compilation and test suite work on CentOS 7.


A corner case is that if I try

./configure; make check -j6

it fails with

make[2]: Entering directory `/home/peterjohansson/src/osd/gsl-1.99.90/sys'
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I..  -I..   -g -O2 -MT test.o -MD -MP -MF 
.deps/test.Tpo -c -o test.o test.c
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `../ieee-utils/libgslieeeutils.la', 
needed by `test'.  Stop.
make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
mv -f .deps/test.Tpo .deps/test.Po
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/peterjohansson/src/osd/gsl-1.99.90/sys'
make[1]: *** [check-am] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/peterjohansson/src/osd/gsl-1.99.90/sys'


I'll see if I can come up with a patch, but can't promise anything.

Cheers,
Peter
