Tests fail in /gsl-1.9/sort with gcc-4.3.3 and glibc-2.8, gsl-1.11 succeeds. However, if you want to emerge some programs with USE=bindist, gsl-1.9 is required due to license. Here is the excerpt from build log, although not very helpful, I'm afraid: make check-TESTS make[2]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/sci-libs/gsl-1.9-r1/work/gsl-1.9/sort' FAIL: indexing

This bug looks like fixed in 1.12 (all tests pass fine there) and probably is fixed in 1.11 (I haven't checked, but chances are high). Dustin, could you retest 1.11 and if it fails 1.12?
