The 3 files (block.o, file.o and init.o) are to be found in the gsl-1.14/.libs/libgsl.lax/libgslblock.a/ folder, as is supposed to happen I believe. (They were there at the time the 'make' process errored out.) I've just had a quick look at 'man sort' on my linux box. I can't successfully apply any of the switches there to the sort command in the msys shell. They all seem to produce "The system cannot find the file specified" error, even if I use the longhand form (ie --unique instead of -u).
