Re: [Help-gsl] test release for GSL 2.4

[Vale Cofer-Shabica]

Hi Patrick,

Thank you for all the work you do for this package!

I have the following to report:

SUCCESS:
Up-to date x86_64 Arch Linux machine: gcc 7.1.1, glibc 2.25

TEST FAILURES:
Ancient x86_64 Rocks 4.3 cluster (based on 2007 era centos): Linux 2.6.18
gcc 4.4.4, glibc2.4
    specfunc failed
2010-era power-pc cluster: Linux 2.6.32, gcc 4.4.7, glibc 2.12
    linalg failed

COMPILE FAILURE:
Same 2010-era cluster using the cross-compilation wrappers for BlueGene
nodes: powerpc64-bgq-linux-gcc (BGQ-V1R2M2-150309) 4.4.7
fails attempting to build shared library (even with --disable-shared)
because only static libs are supported by the system:

./configure --disable-shared CC=/soft/compilers/wrappers/gcc/mpicc && make
&& make check
...
libtool: link: /soft/compilers/wrappers/gcc/mpicc -g -O2 -o gsl-randist
