Can we close BUG#6 ?

[Slaven Peles <peles at cns dot physics dot gatech dot edu>]

I posted this before, but I guess there's no harm repeating it. If I compile 
GSL on Compaq Alpha with the additional flag "-ieee" everything seem to work 
fine and make check reports that all checks are passed. So it seems that bug 
is actually in documentation only. In INSTALL file hints for Compaq/DEC Alpha 
should say:

Is it safe to close this bug then?
Cheers,

I compiled GSL 1.2 on Compaq Alpha with:
    CC=cc ./configure
    make CFLAGS="-std"
Compiler I used identifies itself as:
    Compaq C V6.3-025 on Compaq Tru64 UNIX V5.1 (Rev. 732)
    Compiler Driver V6.3-026 (sys) cc Driver
Make check fails for gsl_isnan, gsl_isinf and gsl_finite functions.

make  check-TESTS
FAIL: gsl_isinf(inf) (0 observed vs 1 expected)
FAIL: gsl_isinf(-inf) (0 observed vs -1 expected)
FAIL: gsl_isnan(nan) (0 observed vs 1 expected)
FAIL: gsl_finite(inf) (1 observed vs 0 expected)
FAIL: gsl_finite(nan) (1 observed vs 0 expected)
