[Bug-gsl] Cannot compile gsl 1.12 on MingW?

[John McCabe-Dansted]

Hello, I cannot compile gsl with the MingW32 cross-compiler on Ubuntu,
as I get the following errors:

I had thought that gsl didn't support MingW, but according to
http://ascendwiki.cheme.cmu.edu/Binary_installer_for_GSL-1.11_on_MinGW
The following is sufficient to compile MingW.

./configure --enable-static=no --enable-shared=yes --prefix=/c/PROGRA~1/gsl-1.11
make
mkdir ~/temp_gsl
DESTDIR=~/temp_gsl make install

(I also get similar errors with compiling gsl-1.11, so it isn't due to
any difference between gsl-1.11 and 1.12)

So is this a bug in GSL?
