Thanks for the bug report.
First question, does it work with gcc? If so, then I would say it is
a libtool bug w.r.t xlc.
You could try the latest version of libtool and see if that fixes the
problem. You will need to get the gsl sources from CVS and run
./autogen.sh with the new libtool. If it still does not work then
report this to bug-libtool@gnu.org.
