I am using IRIX 6.5 on a SGI Origin.  On this machine, make uses gcc to
compile.  Would you know what  flags I would need to set in order to
make a 64-bit GSL library?

I have actually tried setting CFLAGS = -mabi=64 and LDFLAGS= -mabi=64.
However the build failed. I got the following error:

     ld32: FATAL 12: Expecting n32 objects: sasum.o is n64
     collect2: ld returned 4 exit status

I am not sure if I set the correct flags.

Thank you in advance.
