Here are the results:

(Copied your test case to a file named gsl_test.c.)

~/tmp> make gsl_test
        cc -O -s -n32 -mips3 -Wl,-woff,85 -fullwarn -o gsl_test gsl_test.c 
~/tmp> ./gsl_test 
v1 = 123.4 .. 9.123
v2 = 567.8 .. 9.123
v2 = 567.8 .. 9.123
v2 = 568.8 .. 10.123
v2 = 568.8 .. 10.123

Let me know if you need additional info.
