There is a new test release for gsl-1.13 available
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/gsl/gsl-1.12.90.tar.gz
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/gsl/gsl-1.12.90.tar.gz.sig
Please try it out and report any problems here. Thanks. I've
upgraded libtool, autoconf and automake to the latest versions.

* What is new in gsl-1.13:
** Fixed a bug in gsl_multimin_fminimizer_nmsimplex2 where the center
and size of the simplex were not updated on contract-by-best steps,
causing failures in convergence. [bug #27180]
** Added new functions to set MISER and VEGAS Monte Carlo integration
parameters, and to examine VEGAS chi-squared value and intermediate
results.
** Added the function gsl_bspline_greville_abscissa to compute
Greville abscissae for B-splines.
** The cumulative distribution functions gsl_cdf_gumbel1_{P,Q} should
now handle a larger range of parameters without underflow and
overflow.
** The header file gsl_const_cgs.h now emits a warning that it is
deprecated, applications should use gsl_const_cgsm.h instead.
** The Pochhammer functions gsl_sf_poch(a,x) and gsl_sf_lnpoch(a,x) now
handle the special cases where a and a+x are zero or negative
integers.
** The confluent hypergeometric function gsl_sf_hyperg_U (a,b,x) now
handles some cases where x=0. The case where 1+a-b is a negative
integer no longer returns an error [bug #22859] and the incorrect
termination of the series in certain cases is fixed [bug #26706].
** Added a new function gsl_poly_eval_derivs to evaluate a polynomial
and its derivatives simultaneously.
** Added a new univariate minimisation algorithm
gsl_min_fminimizer_quad_golden which is a variant of Brent's
algorithm with safeguarded step-length adjustment.
** Added a new Nelder-Mead minimiser gsl_multimin_fminimizer_nmsimplex2rand
which uses a randomly oriented simplex rather than one fixed on
the coordinate axes [bug #25077]
** The texinfo file now uses the dircategory "Software libraries" from
the Free Software Directory, as recommended in the Texinfo manual.
** The function gsl_ran_exponential now includes zero in its output
range. [bug #25039]
** All functions for freeing allocated memory now accept a NULL
pointer, following the standard C convention for free(). [bug
#25319]
** The function gsl_sum_levin_u_accel now handles the special case
c_0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + .... that occurs when summing power series
c_n*x^n with x=0. [bug #26807]
** The functions gsl_linalg_LU_solve, gsl_linalg_LU_svx,
gsl_linalg_LU_refine, gsl_linalg_LU_invert and their complex
equivalents now return an error for singular matrices.
** The multifit LMDER hybrid solvers now check the return code of the
user-supplied function in the gsl_multifit_fdfsolver_set
method. [bug #26871]
** Improved the implementation of gsl_ran_discrete_preproc to avoid
internal errors due to inconsistencies from excess precision on
some platforms. [bug #26502]
** Corrected gsl_sf_hyperg_2F1(a,b,c,x) to not give a domain error in
the case where c is a negative integer and the series terminates
with a finite result.
** The C99 inline keyword is now supported, in addition to the
previously supported GNU-style inline.
** Modified gsl_poly_complex_solve_cubic and gsl_poly_solve_cubic to
avoid returning NaNs in cases where excess precision causes a
change in the number of roots.
** Fixed incorrect length check in gsl_blas_drotm. [bug #26503]
** Fixed gsl_odeiv_step_gear2 to restore y on step failure
** gsl_odeiv_evolve_apply now restores the correct value of t on step
failures [bug #26255].
** Using make install prefix=DIR now puts correct paths in package
config files gsl-config and gsl.pc
** Modified gsl_monte_vegas to work around pow() function inaccuracies
on MinGW [bug #25413].
** Increased the number of terms in gsl_sf_mathieu_a and
gsl_sf_mathieu_b to improve convergence in difficult regions [bug
#25075]

I've upgraded the gsl-devel package of MacPorts to this version.
Compiled and tested without a problem on Mac OS X 10.5.7 (Mac Pro/
Intel) for me.
Greetings,
Jochen

Thanks for the feedback, I'll start making the final tarball.

FTR: Compiles, checks and installs ok on Darwin 9.8.0 (ie Mac OS X 10.5.8) with
CFLAGS=-O2 -g -march=core2 -mtune=core2 -funroll-loops
-fexpensive-optimizations -ftree-vectorize -arch i386 -arch x86_64
