Can you elaborate on this? gsl has plenty of other routines that have
nothing to do with linear algebra. Is there a technical reason why you
have to link to a BLAS if the code using gsl does not actually need a
BLAS?

The blas symbols are not weak, so they are undefined when linking an
application without a BLAS library.  See the output of "ldd -r
/usr/lib64/libgsl.so.0.17.0" on Rawhide.  Those symbols should be weak
instead.  That way, if an application doesn't use them, they don't
prevent linking without a BLAS library.

That's a good question. But this decision has been made upstream...
