FIXED BUG: gsl-0.4.1/randist/discrete.c typename stack_t conflict on HP

["Frederick W. Wheeler" <wheeler@cipr.rpi.edu>]

Hello again,

I just sent the bug report that is below.  Now I have a simple fix for
the problem.  gsl compiles fine on my hpux system after replacing
stack_t with gsl_stack_t in randist/discrete.c.  I used the following
ed command to make the change.

ed randist/discrete.c <<EOF
,s%stack_t%gsl_stack_t%g
wq
EOF

After making this change I also successfully compiled gsl on a
sparc-sun-solaris2.6.
