Comment(by vbraun):

 The gsl INSTALL file has this to say:
 {{{
 If compiling with GCC the following error

   fp-aix.c: In function `gsl_ieee_set_mode':
   fp-aix.c:30: error: `fprnd_t' undeclared (first use in this function)

 can occur if /usr/includes/float.h is not used, and instead the
 float.h of the installed gcc is picked up instead -- it may be missing
 the necessary structs.  To work around it copy the missing parts
 (between #ifdef _ALL_SOURCE and its #endif) from /usr/includes/float.h
 into a new header file and #include that in fp-aix.c
 }}}
