Thanks for following up.  I think Leo's idea for using
GSL's gsl-config might help with this (except for FSBV
of course).

I don't understand why they say to disable shared; for most
people I think you want a shared library, and for CFFI it's
essential.

I confess I've stopped testing on CCL because my version is really old
and I haven't had time to upgrade, but when I last ran it there were more
errors than SBCL.  Also, I don't run OS X but a colleague does and I
recall he got failed test numbers like that.

The long term plan is to replace the tests with GSL's tests ported to
GSLL, the priority being for those that fail on one or more of the
platform/implementation combinations that people use.  Then we can
identify what are truly compiler and platform errors, and what
are errors in GSLL.
