I found some occurrences of "thread" here:
gsl-1.1.1/doc/gsl-ref.info-1
line 715 and following
Error Reporting
===============

   The library follows the thread-safe error reporting conventions of
the POSIX Threads library.  Functions return a non-zero error code to
indicate an error and `0' to indicate success.

You should read the whole Chapter, IMHO.
HTH.
