Compilation errors with VC++ 6.0


  I am getting compilation errors using GSL 1.3 from a C++ program uing
with VC++ 6.0. This is new with 1.3. The compilation command and the
errors are:

         cl.exe /Od /Z7 /D "_DEBUG"
/I"C:\GaudiSoft\GAUDI_v12r0\GaudiGSL\v3r0" /I"C:\GaudiSoft\GAUDI
_v12r0\GaudiKernel\v13r4" /I"S:/sw/packages/GSL/1.3/Win32/include"
/I"S:/sw/packages/CLHEP/1.8.0.0/W
in32/include" /I"S:/sw/packages/AIDA/2.2/cpp" /D "WIN32" /D "_MBCS"  /D
"_WINDOWS" /FD /c /nologo /W
3 /GX /MD /GR /Zm500  /Fo..\Win32Debug\GaudiGSL\FuncMinimum.obj
/Fd..\Win32Debug\GaudiGSL\
                          /Tp..\src\FuncMinimum.cpp
FuncMinimum.cpp

....

  I noticed that compiling C programs including gsl_precision.h is no
problem. This is why the test programs are OK. Also, I noticed, that
replacing the statements in gsl_precision.h from

GSL_VAR const double gsl_prec_eps[];

to

GSL_VAR const double *gsl_prec_eps;

the problem goes away. Any idea?
