I've been using the patch below to fix this problem in gsll's
initialisation code. I think it should use "gsl-config --libs" instead of
"gsl-config --prefix" to find libgsl.

"--prefix"))))))

+            (let ((s (gsl-config "--libs-without-cblas")))
+              ;; example output: -L/usr/local/Cellar/gsl/1.16/lib -lgsl

6)))))))
+      (merge-pathnames pn (libpath)))))

If I remember correctly, this was once posted on this mailing list.

I think this is expected, but you should probably check each failure/error
and decide for yourself whether or not it has an impact on what you want
do. For example, they may be small numeric inconsistencies that some people
care and others do not care about.
