gsl-1.4 linking error on Solaris 9

[Zong-pei Han <zph at herald dot ox dot ac dot uk>]

Dear Developers,

Tried to install gsl-1.4 on a Solaris 9 machine but failed at the
final stage. Could any one provide a workaround?

% uname -a
SunOS neelix 5.9 Generic sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-280R Solaris

% gcc --version
