Sorry,  do you  mean complex  generalised hermitian-definite
eigensystems (which are in the  GSL), or the general case of
complex matrix (which, AFAICT, are not)?

I cannot speak  for GSL maintainers, but this  would be more
work  of  coding and  maintenance  for  a  feature which  is
already  available in  LAPACK[1] (if  I understand  what you
need).    Using    CLAPACK   imposes   problems   (row-major
vs. col-major  storage), but it offers a  lot of subroutines
ready now.
